An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular cases. It should be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven applications use this kind of a file to perform properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this kind of a file with custom made content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your presence online.
