With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the server that deals with the requests to your websites should act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you could block a particular IP address from opening the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
