.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of popular scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use personalized 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 gives you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
