With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the web server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites must act in various occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For instance, you could block a particular IP address from opening the site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
