With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server that handles the requests to your web sites have to act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a particular IP address from accessing your website, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
