An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a server how to operate in certain occasions. It must be put in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this kind of a file with custom content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which will appear rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your world-wide web presence.
