With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For instance, you could block a certain IP address from opening your website, which means that 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 personalized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
