.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it has to handle requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for example, you could block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password to be able to see the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file gives you significantly more control over your sites and the way they perform.
