.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous famous 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 specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your websites and the way they operate.
