.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of widely used scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use customized 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 shall give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
