An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in particular cases. It needs to be positioned in the folder where these directives should be executed. Many script-driven apps use this type of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this kind of a file with custom made content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which will show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your web presence.
