.htaccess is a small text file that is located either directly in a domain folder or inside a subfolder to inform the web server how it has to address requests when a site or a folder which is part of it is accessed. Many widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you may block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party sites, or you can request the guest to enter a username and a password in order to see the content. You can also set up URL redirecting or use custom made error pages for your Internet site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so on. An .htaccess file will give you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they perform.

.htaccess Generator in Cloud Hosting

We have an easy-to-work-with .htaccess generator tool that will enable you to set up and use this type of files without trouble even if you have zero previous experience and you don't know the syntax of the particular directives for such a file. The tool is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our Linux cloud hosting packages and any option within it may be activated by picking acheckbox and eventually by entering a username or a URL, depending on what exactly you need to do with the .htaccess file. You may also choose where the file should be created, so you won't have to do anything manually after or before that. With an .htaccess file, you'll also be able to select the PHP version that'll be active for a specific domain, no matter if it's not the same version as the one for the whole account.
