With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the server which manages the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you can block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
