.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it should manage requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your website, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you a lot more control over your sites and the way they perform.
