.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you could block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest 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 site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file shall give you significantly more control over your sites and the way they function.
