An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a web server how to act in particular events. It must be placed in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps use this type of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with customized content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that shall be displayed instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your online presence.
