Frequently Asked Questions
An .htaccess (Hypertext Access) file is a configuration file used by Apache web servers. It allows you to control server settings on a per-directory basis, including URL redirects, access control, caching, and security headers — without modifying the main server configuration.
.htaccess files work only on Apache web servers (or compatible ones like LiteSpeed). They do not work on Nginx, IIS, or other web servers. Most shared hosting providers use Apache, so .htaccess is widely supported.
A 301 redirect permanently moves a URL to a new location. Use the 'URL Redirects' section in this tool to add your old path and new destination. The generator will create the proper Redirect 301 directive for your .htaccess file.
