An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a server how to behave in specific events. It needs to be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven applications employ this type of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla, in particular. You can use this type of a file with personalized content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your web presence.
