With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites have to act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you may block a specific IP address from accessing the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use customized error pages or preserve any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
