.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should manage requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many widely used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your site, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to enter a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
