How to set up rules and redirects in .htaccess?

.htaccess is a directory-level configuration file supported by the Apache web server. It is used to alter web server configuration (enable or disable additional features) for the specific account without changing global server settings.

The .htaccess file takes effect over the entire directory it is placed in, including all files and subdirectories. The changes made in this file will be implemented immediately and no server restart is required.

To access the main .htaccess file of your hosting account, follow the steps below: 

1. Log into your cPanel. 

2. Navigate to the section Files > File Manager

3. If you wish to edit .htaccess file for your main domain, navigate to public_htmlfolder. If you need to make some changes to the addon domain, move to public_html/youraddondomain.com folder.

Once there, make sure that Show Hidden files (dotfiles) option is enabled in Settings menu

4. Locate .htaccess file, right-click > Edit

 5. If there is no .htaccess file located in your File manager, feel free to create a new one using File option
