.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous famous scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your site, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password in order to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your sites and the way they work.
