.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it has to manage requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of popular scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to view the content. You can 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 forth. An .htaccess file shall give you a lot more control over your sites and the way they function.
