An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a server how to behave in specific situations. It should be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven apps employ this type of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom made content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages that shall be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your web presence.
