wonderland-wigs Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I would like to stop people using our site as a host. I know they can copy them and use them that happens I don’t want them use our bandwidth by coping the URL so we host it for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 i dont understand exactly what you mean by that. you said: I would like to stop people using our site as a host. it means that people using your site as a host ? They can upload files to your webhosting service, or what? people sharing urls to your shop - it is bad? I think that this is amazing for seo :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
