.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it must address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for example, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the visitor to input a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting 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, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
