With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the web server which manages the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a particular IP address from opening the site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use customized error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, like WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
