With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server which addresses the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a certain IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
