With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites should act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you may block a specific IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use personalized error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
