.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for example, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the visitor to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom 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 shall give you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
