With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server that manages the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you can block a certain IP address from accessing your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use tailor-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 widely used script-driven applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
