With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the web server which manages the requests to your web sites have to act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing your website, so the server will decline the 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 custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
