.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must manage requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your website, 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.
