With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server that deals with the requests to your websites should act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a specific IP address from accessing your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
