With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the web server that handles the requests to your websites have to act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you may block a specific IP address from opening the website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
