.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it must manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting 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 forth. An .htaccess file gives you much more control over your websites and the way they function.
