.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom made 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 far more control over your sites and the way they perform.
