.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file offers you a lot more control over your websites and the way they operate.
