.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use customized 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 gives you far more control over your websites and the way they work.
