With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server that manages the requests to your websites have to act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you may block a specific IP address from accessing your website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use personalized error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
