.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
