With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites must act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you can block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
