With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of cases. 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. For example, you may block a specific IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom-made error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, including Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
