An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives which tell a server how to act in particular occasions. It needs to be placed into the folder where these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven applications use this kind of a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom made content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
