With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the web server that manages the requests to your web sites have to act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing the website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use tailor-made error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
