.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it should address requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the visitor to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you a lot more control over your websites and the way they work.
