 * Can you please help me clean my **.htaccess** file.
    I sometimes get problems
   with my web, like: database errors, connection errors, and when I contacted my
   webhosting admins for support, they said I have some unnecessary codes in the**.
   htaccess** file.
 * **Here is the .htaccess file:**
    [http://www.speedyshare.com/files/29460451/.htaccess](http://www.speedyshare.com/files/29460451/.htaccess)
 * or here is the direct code:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
       <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
           <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

               BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
               BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
