.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it has to manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of commonly used scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for example, you could block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you may request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.
