With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server that deals with the requests to your Internet sites should act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you can block a certain IP address from accessing the site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to another URL, so the server will direct 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™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
