Hotlink Protection, Hotlink Convergence, ZubrWebGuard - Hotlinking is what happens when someone without your permission includes a file that typically contains a video, movie or sound physically stored on your account into their website. Typically whoever hotlinks to you, is not sending you the visitors, rather their visitors that stay on their website get the file from your account. They get the benefits, you get the bill. ZubrWebGuard Hotlink Protection allows you to restrict access to files on your website requiring users to visit a specific page before being able to access a protected file. Finally, the ZubrWebGuard Hotlink Convergence adds another layer on the top of the Hotlink Protection, redirecting the unauthorized users to the page you want them to see.

SSH, Secure Shell, SFTP, Secure FTP - A program suit that provides secure, encrypted remote access and file transfer capabilities over the Internet. Unlike traditional telnet or ftp programs, SSH and SFTP programs rely on public key encryption for key transmissions and straight end-to-end encryption for data, making it nearly impossible for someone to either eavesdrop on the data being sent or received or intercept login/password combinations to access the account.

SSL, Secure Website - SSL, a Secure Socket Layer, is a protocol designed to transmit data securely over the Internet. When a web browser talks to a webserver over an SSL protected connection sensitive information such as credit card numbers, account numbers or order data is protected from prying eyes. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt the data that is transferred using SSL connection. Most of the modern Internet browsers, including Internet Exlorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera and Safari support SSL. By convention, URLs that require SSL protection start with https: instead of http:. If you would like to protect your website using SSL, you need to have SSL certificate installed on the server servicing your website. All Zubrcom servers can utilize such certificates.
