With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the web server which deals with the requests to your websites should act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a particular IP address from accessing your website, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
