.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it must manage requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous widespread scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your 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 offers you a lot more control over your websites and the way they work.
