.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Lots of famous scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for example, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your website, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file offers you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
