HowTo: Prevent Image Hot-linking
If your site host a lot of images, it is best that you prevent other people from directly linking to them on their site. Otherwise, your bandwidth allowance is used up, wasting valuable bandwidth.
Create an “.htaccess” file in your public_html directory with the following code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|png)$ - [F]
Where domain.com is your site’s domain name.
