An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a web server how to operate in specific events. It must be placed into the folder in which these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven apps use this sort of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this kind of a file with customized content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your online presence.
