With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the web server that handles the requests to your websites have to act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a particular IP address from opening the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, such as Joomla, WordPress and Drupal, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
