With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For instance, you can block a specific IP address from accessing the website, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to another URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
