With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the web server that handles the requests to your websites have to act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
