.htaccess is a small text file which is located either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it should address 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 loads of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you could block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use personalized error pages for your website, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you far more control over your websites and the way they perform.
