With an .htaccess file, you will define how the server which handles the requests to your websites must act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a certain IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use customized error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
