.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the server how it must handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for example, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the guest to enter a username and a password to view the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use personalized 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 far more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
