An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives that tell a web server how to act in particular occasions. It needs to be placed into the folder where these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven apps employ this sort of a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom made content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will appear rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your presence online.
