An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a server how to behave in particular cases. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps use this kind of a file to perform correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with customized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your presence online.
