With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites have to act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you may block a certain IP address from opening the website, which means that 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 can also use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
