With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites have to act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or preserve any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
