.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should handle requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous widely used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able 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, etc. An .htaccess file gives you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
