.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you can block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the guest to enter a username and a password in order to see the content. You could 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 will give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
