An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a server how to behave in particular situations. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications use such a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with custom content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific websites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your online presence.
