With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites must act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
