An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives that tell a web server how to act in particular situations. It should be put in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven applications use this kind of a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with customized content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that will appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your world-wide web presence.
