.htaccess is a small text file that's installed 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 like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file gives you far more control over your sites and the way they operate.
