.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it must manage requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widely used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file offers you far more control over your websites and the way they perform.
