.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous widely used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the visitor 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 website, prevent other Internet 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 Internet sites and the way they work.
