Can't upload htaccess file

I am uploading a new PHP website. I have the 5.5php from dreamhost. Every file uploads OK except the htaccess file.

I have uploaded it manually and the transfer is successful but it is nowhere to be found. I have tried several times and looked in the root directory and all other files on my FTP. But it does not show anywhere and even though I am fully hosted for this domain it still shows parked at dreamhost. The domain is www.handyhousedoctor.com.

The htaccess file is below. I am new to this type of file so you may have to come down to my level.

Thanks
Craig

Is the domain changed from parked to fully hosted?

Search this forum for disappear htaccess. It's a classic.

Yes it is fully hosted. I even went back and repeated the fully hosting option again. This is what I don't understand why it is showing parked. It is active and I get email through it.

Looks like it is out of park and in drive now.

Thanks I have a few changes to make.
