With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the web server that deals with the requests to your websites must act in different occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also 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 widespread script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
