An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular situations. It must be placed into the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications use such a file to perform correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with custom content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall be displayed instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have more effective control over your online presence.
