With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the server that handles the requests to your Internet sites have to act a number of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you can block a certain IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to another URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
