.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to guide the web server how it should address requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you may request the guest to input a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your websites and the way they operate.
