.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the server how it has to handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Many popular scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to enter a username and a password to be able to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
