.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it should handle requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of famous scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use personalized 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 significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
