An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a web server how to behave in particular situations. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven applications employ such a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with customized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your online presence.
