With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites have to act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from accessing the site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
