With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites must act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you could block a specific IP address from accessing your website, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom 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 applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
