With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the server that deals with the requests to your websites must act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a certain IP address from accessing the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use personalized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
