With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
