With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server that addresses the requests to your web sites must act a number of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For instance, you can block a certain IP address from opening the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
