With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the web server that handles the requests to your Internet sites should act in different occasions. 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. For instance, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
