With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server that addresses the requests to your web sites have to act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a specific IP address from accessing the website, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
