With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the server which handles the requests to your web sites must act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a specific IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or shield any part of your 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 function correctly.
