Frequently Asked Questions

Is the .htaccess Generator free to use?
Yes, the .htaccess Generator is completely free with no limitations. Generate as many configuration rules as you need without registration.
Is my configuration data private?
Yes, all .htaccess generation happens locally in your browser. Your URLs, redirect rules, and security settings are never sent to any server.
What is an .htaccess file?
An .htaccess file is a configuration file for Apache web servers that controls directory-level settings. It can handle URL redirects, rewrites, access control, caching headers, security settings, and more without modifying the main server configuration.
What rules can I generate?
The tool can generate redirects (301, 302), URL rewrites, www/non-www redirects, HTTPS enforcement, custom error pages, hotlink protection, IP blocking, password protection, caching headers, and CORS settings.
Will these rules work on my server?
The generated rules work on Apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled. Most shared hosting uses Apache. If you use Nginx, IIS, or other servers, you will need different configuration syntax. The tool generates standard Apache .htaccess rules.
