With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server that deals with the requests to your Internet 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 site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you may block a particular IP address from opening the site, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
