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