With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server which handles the requests to your websites should act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing the website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use customized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
