.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your site, 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 see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting 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, and so forth. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your websites and the way they function.
