.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it must manage requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to enter a username and a password to be able to see the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you significantly more control over your sites and the way they work.
