.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it should handle requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
