.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the server how it must manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous commonly used scripts such as Joomla and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You may also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file offers you much more control over your websites and the way they work.
