.htaccess is a small text file that is placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to guide the web server how it should manage requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Numerous famous scripts like WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you could block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party sites, or you could request the guest to type in a username and a password to see the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file gives you a lot more control over your sites and the way they function.
