.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should manage requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous widespread scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file gives you far more control over your sites and the way they work.
