With an .htaccess file, you can define how the web server that addresses the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a particular IP address from opening your website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function efficiently.
