.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it should handle requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of popular scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get loads 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 visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file offers you a lot more control over your websites and the way they perform.
