.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Lots of popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your websites and the way they function.
