With an .htaccess file, you will define how the server that deals with the requests to your websites have to act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a particular IP address from opening the website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use personalized error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
