With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server that addresses the requests to your websites should act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the site, so the server will decline your 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 can also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
