.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many popular scripts including WordPress and Joomla use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for example, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your sites and the way they work.
