Step1: Open your favorite text editor (I’m using notepad) and create a new file, name this file .htaccess
Step2: Now you have created .htaccess file and you have to upload this file on server. Log-in into cPanel by typing URL http://www.domainname.com/cpanel (replace domain name with your own domain name) and click on “File Manager” as shown below:
Step3: When you click on “File Manager” (in step 2), it opens a new window (as shown below) and you will see your root directory.
Step4: In root directory, click on “Upload” to upload the .htaccess file in root directory.
Step5: If you follow all the steps as guided you will see .htaccess file in root directory as shown below:
Step6: Congratulations, you have successfully created and uploaded .htaccess file on server.

Don’t forget to rename .htaccess.txt to .htaccess

Thank you for this article. I was looking all over and then I found your article(s).
One thing you need to do is to put the name of your site in the top place you have placed that ugly hostgator banner. I thought I had come to hostgator and was about to leave because my host is not hostgator.
Vivek Parmar says
Welcome Tia, glad you like the article.
Thanks for letting me know about the disadvantage of putting a banner of Hostgator. Will move it sooner, stay at WebGuide4U because a lot more has to come on .htaccess
