An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives which tell a web server how to act in certain situations. It should be placed into the folder where these directives should be executed. Numerous script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this kind of a file with custom made content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that shall be displayed rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your web presence.
