With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the server which deals with the requests to your web sites must act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you could block a specific IP address from opening the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, including Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
