.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of 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 instance, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your website, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your websites and the way they perform.
