To enable hotlink protection in cPanel, please follow these steps:

7.	In the "Allowed Sources" field, enter the domains or IP addresses that you want to allow hotlinking from. Separate multiple entries with a space or a comma.

Hotlink protection prevents other websites from directly linking to and displaying your images or other media files on their pages. This helps reduce bandwidth usage and potential copyright issues. At dotCanada.com, we recommend enabling hotlink protection to safeguard your website's resources.
