Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Can you get a hotlink prevention system like rapidshare, megaupload etc

[Beatplexity]

Hi

Im getting hotlinked quite a bit. while at the moment i dont mind this, soon i will need to start generating revenue from ad's to keep the site running.

I run a dj mix archive site. Basically i was wondering if there was a system or script that let me runs something similar to what rapidshare and megaupload do.

Like give you a code to type in etc.

Im getting a large amount of bandwidth transferred (monthly average about 10tb) and probably only about 30% actually visit the website, which as you know is bad for revenue.

Can anyone help??

All webservers (apache, nginx, lighttpd, etc.) have possibility to simple analyze referrer request headers and block hotlinked connections. By mod_rewrite or so.

But if you looking for advanced possibility - it need custom solution according to your site. You need good programmer to create such system.
