An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in certain events. It should be placed in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven applications use this type of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with customized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that shall show up rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your online presence.
