With an .htaccess file, you can define how the server which manages the requests to your websites must act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you can block a certain IP address from opening the Internet site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
