.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it must address requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous widespread scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the visitor to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file shall give you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
