Security Functions More Info
Password protect directories Allows you to use passwords to protect individual directories.

Hotlink protection HotLink protection prevents other web sites from directly linking to files on your web site. Other sites will still be able to link to any file type that you don't specify (e.g. html files). An example of hotlinking would be using a <img> tag to display an image from your site from somewhere else on the net. The end result is that the other site is stealing your bandwidth.

Addon domains An addon domain allows you to specify a directory which will be used for the addon domain (e.g. you could use www.domain.com/newdomain as a directory. If newdomain.com was then added on this way, all of the /newdomain content would be displayed).
