With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server that manages the requests to your web sites have to act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can 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 popular script-driven applications, including WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
