.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the server how it has to handle requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Lots of popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password to view the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
