With an .htaccess file, you can define how the web server that addresses the requests to your web sites should act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a particular IP address from accessing your website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom-made error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
