With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which deals with the requests to your websites have to act in different occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
