.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it must address requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous popular scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to type in a username and a password to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding 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 a lot more control over your websites and the way they work.
