With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server that handles the requests to your websites should act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you may block a particular IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as Joomla, Drupal and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
