With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the server which manages the requests to your websites have to act in different cases. 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 could block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
