An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a web server how to operate in certain cases. It must be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven applications use this kind of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with custom made content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall be displayed rather than server-generated ones if 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 and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
