.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the visitor to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use personalized error pages for your website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your sites and the way they work.
