.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
