With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the web server which manages the requests to your websites must act a number of situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you can block a specific IP address from opening the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or shield any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
