.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it should manage requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Numerous famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a lot of fake traffic to your Internet site, for example, you'll be able to block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you could request the visitor to input a username and a password to view the content. You may also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your website, 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 sites and the way they perform.
