What is an .htaccess file?

An .htaccess file contains configuration read by supporting Apache server setups for a directory.

In practice

It may configure redirects or access rules where the host allows those directives.

Important limitations

It does not apply universally to every server. Incorrect rules can affect availability; test exact scope and retain rollback.
