With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the web server which handles the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a certain IP address from opening your website, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use tailor-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
