With an .htaccess file, you shall define how the web server that handles the requests to your Internet sites must act a number of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a particular IP address from opening your website, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use customized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
