With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the web server which addresses the requests to your web sites have to act a number of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
