An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives which tell a web server how to act in certain situations. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Many script-driven apps employ such a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
