What is .htaccess?

Hypertext Access (.htaccess) is a configuration file for use on web servers running the Apache Web Server software. It allows you to manage server configuration at a directory level without changing the main server config file. It is used for 301 redirects, password protection, IP blocking, etc.

301 vs 302 Redirects

301 is "Permanent", 302 is "Temporary". For SEO, if a page has moved forever, you must use **301**. This tool generates SEO-friendly 301 redirects by default.

Why use Hotlink Protection?

If other sites embed your images (`.jpg`, `.png`) directly, they steal your server bandwidth. Hotlink protection blocks these requests with a "403 Forbidden" response, saving your traffic quota.

.htaccess FAQ

Where is the .htaccess file located?
It is usually located in your website's root directory (`public_html`). Since it starts with a dot, it is a hidden file. You may need to enable "Show Hidden Files" in your FTP client or File Manager.
What if I break the code?
Even a single typo in .htaccess can cause a "500 Internal Server Error" and crash your site. Always backup the file before editing.
