.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the visitor to input a username and a password to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom 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 gives you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
