.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it must manage requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the visitor to type in a username and a password to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file offers you a lot more control over your websites and the way they work.
