With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server which deals with the requests to your web sites have to act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a specific IP address from opening the site, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server may 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 popular script-driven apps, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
