@kausar,

If you have a Linux-based server or hosting account, you should be able to use .htaccess files on it. If you are having issues with an application used with Pligg, you may want to review the scripting of the .htaccess file first, as that usually is the root of the issue.

@kausar,

As this is involving specific settings of your Virtual Dedicated Server account, this would better addressed by submitting a trouble ticket to our server support team if you have not already done so. To submit a trouble ticket, you will want to review the article below:
