.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it should address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of widely used scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you far more control over your websites and the way they operate.
