With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the server that handles the requests to your Internet sites must act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a specific IP address from opening the Internet site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use customized error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, including WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
