With an .htaccess file, you can define how the web server which handles 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 will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a certain IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, including Joomla, WordPress and Drupal, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
