.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous commonly used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for example, you could block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the guest to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your sites and the way they work.
