With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the web server which handles the requests to your Internet sites have to act a number of situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
