.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you could block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password in order to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use personalized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your sites and the way they perform.
