.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the server how it has to address requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of commonly used scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your website, for instance, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the visitor to type in a username and a password in order to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your Internet site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file will give you a lot more control over your websites and the way they function.
