.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the server how it must address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous widely used scripts such as Joomla and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for example, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the guest to enter 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 gives you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
