With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the server which manages the requests to your Internet sites have to act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use personalized error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
