With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server which addresses the requests to your websites must act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
