From Raidboxes 2.0, it is finally possible to use the .htaccess file. In the article Using the .htaccess file in WordPress, you will find all the important information about the .htaccess file and its use on RB 2.0 boxes.
This article only refers to boxes that are not yet on the RB 2.0 infrastructure.
Raidboxes automatically takes care of everything that is usually associated with .htaccess files:
WordPress Permalinks: Your box automatically configures the permalinks for you with Apache or NGINX.
Caching: Raidboxes also handles caching for you on Apache and NGINX. Therefore, no plugins or .htaccess files are needed.
Redirects: Redirects can be easily implemented via the Raidboxes dashboard. How to set up a redirect can be found in our article Redirects (Forwarding).
Security: Many security plugins in WordPress modify .htaccess files to install security rules. We have already implemented these types of security measures on our servers.
In the file system of many NGINX boxes, you will find .htaccess files because many WordPress plugins write to the .htaccess by default. However, NGINX servers ignore these files.
