With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the web server that deals with the requests to your websites should act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a certain IP address from accessing your website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
