Site attacks and .htaccess modified

Hi guys
Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum but my website, being hosted at ovh.net, has been attacked from external users, and what amazed me was that all my pages were in the right place (found out after logging in as admin and using rewrite cond in htaccess), but if any other user was trying to open the site, it was redirecting to another website.
I wanted to know if by only accessing the website users could get access to the htaccess file, or it is accessible only via ftp? also how to solve this problem in the future?
thx...

usually .htaccess is not

usually .htaccess is not accessiable for web site users, but it's realy about your site security setting. You might need to find a more skilled web hosting service provider.
