.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it must handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of famous scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for example, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file will give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
