.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the server how it should manage requests when an Internet site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. A lot of widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you could block the access of specific IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the visitor to input a username and a password to see the content. You could also set up URL redirecting or use customized error pages for your website, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file gives you much more control over your websites and the way they operate.
