Yes - .htaccess file is the way by which you can hide real extension of your files from url. There are many other things which you can do using .htaccess file like: - Block specific IP to access your website. - Allow specific IP to access your website. - Stop specific folder to be shown - Allow specific page to be displayed as an error page. and many other things.
