.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet 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 sites and the way they work.
