With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server which deals with the requests to your websites have to act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a specific IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
