An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a server how to behave in specific occasions. It should be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that will appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your online presence.
