.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it must address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for example, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to enter a username and a password in order to view the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your website, 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 websites and the way they operate.
