With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server which manages the requests to your websites must act in various scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
