With an .htaccess file, you can define how the server which manages the requests to your Internet sites must act a number of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you could block a specific IP address from opening the website, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use tailor-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
