With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the web server which deals with the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use personalized error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, such as Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
