An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a web server how to act in particular events. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps employ such a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this type of a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular websites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that shall be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
