With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use customized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
