.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it must handle requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of widely used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your website, for example, you'll be able to block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the visitor to type in a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use custom 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 websites and the way they function.
