With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the web server which handles the requests to your web sites should act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a particular IP address from opening your website, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom-made error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
