.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous commonly used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file gives you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
