An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a web server how to act in certain events. It needs to be placed into the folder where these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps use this sort of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with customized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your online presence.
