With an .htaccess file, you can define how the server that handles the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you may block a particular IP address from opening the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
