.htaccess is a small text file that is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it should handle requests when a site or a folder that is part of it is accessed. Many widely used scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you'll be able to block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the visitor to type in a username and a password to be able to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting 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, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your websites and the way they work.
