.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widely used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You may 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, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you far more control over your sites and the way they operate.
