Does Tiiny Host support .htaccess files?
No. An .htaccess file won't do anything on Tiiny Host.
.htaccess is a configuration file for Apache web servers — it handles redirects, access rules and URL rewriting. We don't run Apache. Static files are served directly, and PHP apps run on PHP's own built-in server, so nothing reads the file.
Uploading one won't break anything. It just has no effect.
What people usually want it for, and what to do instead
- Redirects — Create a redirect page instead. See How to create a redirect link.
- Password protection — Built in, no config file needed. Solo plan and above. See How to password protect your project.
- Removing .html from URLs — Done with folder structure. See How to remove the ".html" ending from your link.
- Custom error pages — Supported on the Solo plan and above. See How to set up a custom 404 page.
