With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server that deals with the requests to your web sites must act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
