With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you may block a specific IP address from opening the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use tailor-made error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, including Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
