With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server which manages the requests to your web sites have to act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you could block a particular IP address from opening the website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
