The htaccess is an indispensable file for web servers with Apache, like the ones we offer at SW Hosting.
This file allows you to set advanced configurations, such as:
The htaccess is as versatile as it is delicate: any error in its configuration can render your website useless. That's why with SW Hosting you'll always have a backup at your disposal, thanks to our advanced tools and our specialised technical team.
At SW Hosting, our SaaS control panel makes any task simple and quick, including recreating your htaccess. Here are the basic steps:
Access your web root from our intuitive panel.
Create a file with the name .htaccess (the dot at the beginning indicates that it is hidden).
Enter the following content for a standard configuration:
<pre>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\\RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
</pre>
If you work with a WordPress Multisite, the default htaccess is slightly different. Don't worry, because with our WordPress optimised servers, this process is just as easy:
<pre>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\\
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\\
</pre
