With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the web server which handles the requests to your websites should act a number of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a particular IP address from opening the site, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
