.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the visitor to type in a username and a password in order to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom made 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 gives you a lot more control over your websites and the way they operate.
