With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you may block a specific IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use personalized error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
