.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the server how it should manage requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of popular scripts such as 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 Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your Internet site, 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 websites and the way they perform.
