.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it must address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the visitor to input a username and a password to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
