With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites should act in various scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
