With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server which handles the requests to your Internet sites must act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you could block a certain IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
