.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the web server how it should manage requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your site, for example, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use custom made 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 far more control over your sites and the way they perform.
