With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the web server that manages the requests to your web sites must act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a certain IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
