Some computer systems don’t show any file with the . before it for security reasons, so you may have to rename it as “.htaccess” there is no extension required or needed for this type of file. The .htaccess file is the most powerful file on your website. If it is wrong your website wont display.
Most browsers strip the . before they will download the file.
