With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server which handles the requests to your Internet sites must act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a specific IP address from opening the site, which means that the server will decline the 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 personalized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, such as Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
