Web Tools

.htaccess Generator

This tool creates a commented .htaccess file for Apache web servers. The output is generated only from checked options. Free Apache directives cannot be entered.

Overview

A .htaccess file can control redirects, access protection, error pages, security headers, caching and maintenance rules. Which directives work on a server depends on the hosting environment, the Apache configuration, enabled modules and the AllowOverride settings.

The generator is intentionally security-oriented: inputs are checked by allowlist rules, paths must not contain traversal sequences and the generated file should always be tested in a staging environment before production use.

Generator

HTTPS and Domain

Redirects to HTTPS or to a fixed primary domain.

Domain redirect

HTTPS requires a valid SSL certificate on the target server.

File Protection

Blocks typical configuration, backup and log files.

Security Headers

Creates basic browser security headers.

Error Pages

Custom error pages as safe internal web paths.

Performance

Caching and optional compression for static files.

Maintenance Mode

Optional maintenance mode with HTTP status 503.

Output

Notes

The generated file is a technical suggestion. It does not replace a check of the actual server environment. Redirects, HSTS and caching should be tested before production use.

If a hosting provider disables certain Apache modules or restricts AllowOverride, individual sections may have no effect or may cause a server error.
