An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in certain occasions. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven applications use this type of a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla, for instance. You can use this type of a file with customized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your web presence.
