.htaccess is a configuration file for Apache web servers. It allows you to control server behavior at the directory level.

Upload the .htaccess file to your website's root directory using FTP or your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.).

Ensure your hosting provider has mod_rewrite enabled. Contact support if rewrite rules don't work.

Test each rule carefully. A single syntax error can break your site. Keep backups of your original .htaccess file.

Rules are processed in order. Place more specific rules before general ones.

You can combine multiple rules in one .htaccess file. Use comments (#) to document what each rule does.
