.htaccess is a small text file that's placed either directly in a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the web server how it must address requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Numerous widespread scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file.

You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file shall give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
