With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server which manages the requests to your web sites have to act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you may block a specific IP address from accessing your website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
