.htaccess Generator — FAQ

Does .htaccess work on LiteSpeed?+

Yes. LiteSpeed Web Server, used on all The PowerHost hosting, reads Apache .htaccess rules natively.

Where do I put the .htaccess file?+

In your site's document root — usually public_html. Back up any existing file first and merge rules rather than replacing WordPress's block.

Why do I get a 500 error after editing .htaccess?+

A syntax error or a directive your server does not allow. Restore your backup, then add rules one block at a time.

Your site could be live
