.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of famous scripts such as WordPress and Joomla use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your websites and the way they perform.
