.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous widely used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your sites and the way they operate.
