With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server which manages the requests to your websites must act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
