With an .htaccess file, you'll determine how the server that manages the requests to your websites have to act a number of situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a certain IP address from opening your website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use customized error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
