.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should address requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file will give you much more control over your websites and the way they operate.
