With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the web server which handles the requests to your web sites have to act in various situations. 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. As an illustration, you may block a particular IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
