With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the web server which handles the requests to your Internet sites should act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you could block a certain IP address from accessing your website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, such as Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
