An .htaccess file is a configuration file for Apache web servers that controls directory-level settings. It can handle URL redirects, rewrites, access control, caching headers, security settings, and more without modifying the main server configuration.
The tool can generate redirects (301, 302), URL rewrites, www/non-www redirects, HTTPS enforcement, custom error pages, hotlink protection, IP blocking, password protection, caching headers, and CORS settings.
The generated rules work on Apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled. Most shared hosting uses Apache. If you use Nginx, IIS, or other servers, you will need different configuration syntax. The tool generates standard Apache .htaccess rules.
