With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the web server that manages the requests to your Internet sites have to act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a specific IP address from accessing the site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom-made error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
