With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites have to act in different occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you may block a specific IP address from opening the Internet site, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use personalized error pages or shield 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 Joomla, WordPress and Drupal, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
