An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in certain occasions. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be performed. Many script-driven apps use this sort of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that will appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
