.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it must manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widely used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the visitor to enter a username and a password to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file will give you significantly more control over your sites and the way they operate.
