With an .htaccess file, you will define how the server that deals with the requests to your web sites should 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. For instance, you can block a certain 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 may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made 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 WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
