.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it has to manage requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the guest to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you much more control over your websites and the way they work.
