.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it should manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the guest to type in a username and a password to be able to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding 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 gives you much more control over your sites and the way they work.
