.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should address requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous widespread scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file offers you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
