.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must manage requests when an Internet site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to type in a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding 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, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your sites and the way they work.
