.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should handle requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the visitor to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use personalized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites 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 work.
