An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular occasions. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with customized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, 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 presence online.
