With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server that handles the requests to your Internet sites have to act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the Internet site, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, like WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.
