With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the server which deals with the requests to your web sites have to act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a particular IP address from accessing the site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
