.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot 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 view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your websites and the way they perform.
