.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to handle requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the guest to enter a username and a password to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use personalized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you significantly more control over your websites and the way they operate.
