.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it should address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to view the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file gives you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
