	• RSS What is RSS? RSS (RDF Site Summary - formerly called Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a method of presenting news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication) to the online reading audience. To publish content, such as news headlines or stories, the given Web site creates a description of that content and its location within the site in the form of an RSS document. What is RSS News? The RSS News is a tool, which allows you to place news in a chosen section of your website.

	• Popularity Check tool We recommend that you check the popularity of your website(s) with the top three search engines - Google, Yahoo and MSN. The Popularity Check tool allows you to quickly find out how many results for your website(s) are listed in those search engines. Just type the URL and submit the query.

	• Hotlink Protection This feature is designed to prevent others from using your images on their website at your expense. It prohibits direct external linking to your image files of the following types: .gif, jpg, .bmp. Linking to these files will be possible from your own website only. For example, if you try to access an image by entering http://www.live.demo/image.gif into a browser with Hotlink Protection enabled, you will receive a Forbidden error page, whereas that same image will display correctly when linked to any page from your website. Hotlinking can be enabled for an individual directory or for your entire website at once by protecting only the httpdocs directory.

	• IP Blocking This feature blocks specified IPs from accessing your website. To block a range of IPs, the part of the IP after the beginning of the range should be left blank. For example, to block all IPs in the 227.xxx.xxx.xxx range, you should enter 227, for range 227.125.xxx.xxx, the entry should be 227.125. Please keep in mind that although the blocked IPs will not be able to view any of your web pages, they will still show up in your Access Log, since a "403 - Forbidden" message is displayed for them by the web server.

	• htaccess Generator The .htaccess Generator generates the .htaccess code and creates the file in the chosen directory in the hosting account. Using this tool you can specify additional MIME types, set access restrictions, rewrite web page URLs, and much more.
