With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server that addresses the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you can block a specific IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
