With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server that deals with the requests to your Internet sites have to act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you could block a specific IP address from opening the Internet site, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, like Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
