.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to tell the server how it must manage requests when a website or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many commonly used scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a great deal of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party Internet sites, or you may request the visitor to enter a username and a password in order to view the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom error pages for your website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etcetera. An .htaccess file shall give you significantly more control over your websites and the way they work.
.htaccess Generator in Website Hosting
We have a time and effort saving .htaccess generator tool that will permit you to create and use this type of files with no trouble even if you don't have any previous experience and you do not know the syntax of the particular directives for this type of a file. The tool is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with our Linux website hosting services and any option within it can be activated by choosing acheckbox and eventually by entering a username or a URL, based upon what exactly you need to do with the .htaccess file. You could also choose where the file should be created, so you will not have to do anything manually after or before that. By using an .htaccess file, you'll also be able to choose the PHP version that'll be active for a given domain, regardless if it's not the same version as the one for the entire account.
