.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to address requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password to view the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use personalized error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file will give you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
