With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the web server that deals with the requests to your Internet sites must act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you could block a certain IP address from accessing the website, therefore 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. You may also use custom error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
