With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server which addresses the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the Internet site, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or protect 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, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
