    Yes, you don't need cpanel to accomplish this,
    try adding the following to htacess
    Replace yoursite com with your actual domain
    And the bottom line, is the image that replaces the hotlinked one

    I have seen this script in many other forums. Does this script only work with Apache. From my small amout of experience, apache is the only web server program that has an htacess file, iis6 does not. I have a cgi script i want blocked only to me and my friends. If this is the correct script, do i put it in my nph-proxy.pl(and if in here what line does it go on) or do i put it in 1 of my .asp pages. my site is based off of .asp. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The script solution mentioned above would only work with mod_rewrite enabled on your webhost -- I'm not aware of an easy way to do this, you would need to write some functions in ASP to check the referring URL, and deny / redirect the request if the the referrer isn't your own domain.
