With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
