.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for example, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you far more control over your websites and the way they operate.
