.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it must manage requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of popular scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
