.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it has to address requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous widely used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may 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 view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file gives you far more control over your sites and the way they function.
