.htaccess is a special Apache file that tells your website how to function.
You can edit the existing .htaccess file on your site, or you can create a new text file in any directory and name it .htaccess
How can I secure my .htaccess file?
The file is already protected; it will be forbidden to browsers. To be very sure, double check that the file is named ".htaccess" and not "htaccess" nor "htaccess.txt". (It must start with a dot.)
Can I delete my .htaccess file permanently?
You can delete the .htaccess file, but it will reappear immediately as a blank file.
Designdill has default directives which will always be in place, unless you create your own directives to overrule ours.
Example
Designdill uses this code as a default, even if you erase and remove the .htaccess file.
You can override those defaults by creating your own rules.
