With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server which deals with the requests to your websites should act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
