With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server that addresses the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a specific IP address from accessing your website, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your website 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 operate correctly.
