An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives that tell a server how to behave in specific occasions. It should be put in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps use this kind of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with custom content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which will appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your presence online.
