With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server that handles the requests to your Internet sites have to act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the site, and the server will decline the 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. Also you can use custom error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
