An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives which tell a web server how to operate in certain occasions. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven applications use this sort of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with custom content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your presence online.
