An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a server how to operate in particular occasions. It must be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. Numerous script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall appear 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, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your presence online.
