An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives that tell a web server how to act in certain occasions. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be performed. Many script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla, for example. You can use such a file with custom content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will be displayed instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your online presence.
