.htaccess is a small text file which is installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it should handle requests when a website or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Lots of widespread scripts including Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file.

You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom made error pages for your website, 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 far more control over your Internet sites and the way they work.
