With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the web server which manages the requests to your websites must act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a certain IP address from accessing your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
