.htaccess is a small text file which is placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it has to manage requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of famous scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom made 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 offers you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
