With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server that addresses the requests to your websites have to act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you may block a specific IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
