.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it has to handle requests when an Internet site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file gives you much more control over your websites and the way they work.
