.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it should manage requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for example, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the guest to input a username and a password to see the content. You may 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 gives you far more control over your websites and the way they perform.
