.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous popular scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for example, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the guest to input a username and a password to see the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file will give you a lot more control over your sites and the way they work.
