.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it must manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many famous scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to see the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file gives you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
