An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a web server how to act in certain occasions. It should be placed in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Many script-driven applications use this type of a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with custom content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your online presence.
