With an .htaccess file, you can define how the server which manages the requests to your web sites have to act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a particular IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
