.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to manage requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous popular scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you significantly more control over your websites and the way they work.
