.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the visitor 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 Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you significantly more control over your sites and the way they operate.
