.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to manage requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
