.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it must address requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom 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 will give you far more control over your sites and the way they operate.
