.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of famous scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file gives you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
