With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the web server which handles the requests to your Internet sites must act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a particular IP address from accessing 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 can also use customized error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
