In this post you will find out about the .htaccess file and the power it has to improve your website. 



Creating a .htaccess File

You can create a .htaccess file on your local computer or on the server.



On the server : 

  1. Login to your cPanel Account
  2. Click the File Manager icon, located in the Files section.
  3. From the File Manger popup choose "Choose Hidden Files (dotfiles)." 
    Note: If you do not see this popup you will need to click the "reset all interface settings" link at the bottom of the cPanel page.
  4. From the File Manager popup choose the folder you would like to open, most often the "Web Root (public_html/www)"
