.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it must address requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for example, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the guest to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your website, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file gives you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
