With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server which manages the requests to your Internet sites must act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a certain IP address from opening your website, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-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, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
