.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous widely used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the visitor to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file offers you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
