With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which deals with the requests to your web sites have to act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a specific IP address from accessing the website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
