.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 manage requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous popular scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress 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 visitor to enter a username and a password in order to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file gives you significantly more control over your sites and the way they work.
