With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server that deals with the requests to your Internet sites should act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you can block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the 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 may also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, including WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
