With an .htaccess file, you can define how the server that manages the requests to your Internet sites have to act a number of cases. 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. As an illustration, you can block a particular IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
