With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the server that addresses the requests to your Internet sites must act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a certain IP address from opening the website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom-made error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
