With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the server that manages the requests to your websites must act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing your website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
