.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it should address requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for example, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom 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 shall give you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
