With an .htaccess file, you can define how the server which handles the requests to your websites should act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, and the server will decline the 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 could also use personalized 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 applications, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
