With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites must act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you can block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom error pages or preserve any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
