.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it must manage requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. A lot of commonly used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your site, for example, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the guest to type in a username and a password in order to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file will give you significantly more control over your sites and the way they operate.
