With an .htaccess file, you can define how the web server that addresses the requests to your Internet sites have to act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a certain IP address from opening the site, so 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. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate efficiently.
