An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a web server how to operate in specific situations. It must be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps employ this type of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this type of a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your online presence.
