.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must manage requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the guest to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your Internet 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 significantly more control over your websites and the way they perform.
