.htaccess is a small text file that's located either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous famous scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use customized error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file gives you far more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
