With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which addresses the requests to your websites should act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a certain IP address from opening the site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to another URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
