.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of famous scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file offers you much more control over your sites and the way they perform.
