An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives which tell a web server how to behave in certain occasions. It must be placed into the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Many script-driven apps employ this type of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with customized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your online presence.
