Frequently Asked Questions

A .htaccess file is an Apache web server configuration file that allows you to configure server behavior on a per-directory basis. It controls URL redirects, caching, compression, access control, and more.

Place the .htaccess file in the root directory of your website (the same folder as your index.html or index.php). It applies to that directory and all subdirectories.
