.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Many famous scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file offers you a lot more control over your sites and the way they operate.
