With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server that addresses the requests to your web sites should act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a certain IP address from accessing your website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
