An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular occasions. It must be placed in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Many script-driven apps use this type of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla, for instance. You can use such a file with personalized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your presence online.
