With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server that addresses the requests to your web sites have to act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the website, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
