An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a server how to behave in particular situations. It must be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Many script-driven applications employ this sort of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom made content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your world-wide web presence.
