.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it must handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many widespread 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 could request the guest to type in a username and a password to view the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file gives you significantly more control over your websites and the way they operate.
