.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it must manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of commonly used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you'll be able to 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 to see the content. You can 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 forth. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
