With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server that handles the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you can block a particular IP address from opening the Internet site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom-made error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, like WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
