With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server that deals with the requests to your websites must act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from opening the Internet site, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
