.htaccess is a very ancient configuration file that controls the Web Server running your website, and is a very powerful configuration file. Htaccess is sometimes called: “HyperText Access” because of its ability to control access of the WWW’s HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) using Password Protection, 301 Redirects, and much much more.
