.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you far more control over your sites and the way they operate.
