With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites must act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, 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 another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use customized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
