An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives which tell a web server how to behave in certain events. It must be put in the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps use this type of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular websites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages that shall 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, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your presence online.
