.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the visitor 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 website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file shall give you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
