.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it should manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous widespread scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password in order to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your website, 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 Internet sites and the way they work.
