.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of famous scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use personalized 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 gives you much more control over your websites and the way they work.
