An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular occasions. It must be placed into the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps use this kind of a file to perform properly - WordPress and Joomla, for instance. You can use such a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your world-wide web presence.
