An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a web server how to behave in specific situations. It should be placed into the folder where these directives should be performed. Many script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with custom made content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages that will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have more effective control over your online presence.
