.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it must handle requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of commonly used scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your sites and the way they perform.
