.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it must address requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you could block the access of certain 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 site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file offers you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
