.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the server how it should handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many famous scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for example, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use customized 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 forth. An .htaccess file offers you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
