With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites must act in different occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
