With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the server that manages the requests to your web sites have to act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you could block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
