With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server which manages the requests to your Internet sites must act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For instance, you can block a particular IP address from opening the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
