With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the server that deals with the requests to your web sites must act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from opening your website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use customized error pages or preserve 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 WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
