.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must handle requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous popular scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for example, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding 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, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your websites and the way they work.
