Hot Link Protector
A common problem faced by many web masters is the problem of "hot linking". This is the practice of literally stealing
bandwidth from another web site. This occurs when somebody embeds images from your web site on their page and force
the images to be loaded from your web site (thereby making you responsible to the transfer generated by his web site).
To protect against this problem Silicon Valley Web Hosting has developed a set of filters that, if enabled, will allow your
virtual servers to refuse to serve any images not requested by a page within your site. If somebody does try to hot link
to images on your web site they will instead receive a "not authorized" message.
