With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server that handles the requests to your Internet sites must act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a specific IP address from opening the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, like WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
