An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a web server how to behave in specific situations. It must be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Many script-driven applications use this type of a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this kind of a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your world-wide web presence.
