.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the server how it should handle requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many widely used scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they function.
