With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the web server which deals with the requests to your websites must act a number of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a certain IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline the 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 could also use customized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
