.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it must handle requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file offers you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
