.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you may 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 to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom 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 offers you far more control over your sites and the way they work.
