With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the web server that deals with the requests to your websites have to act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an illustration, you could block a certain IP address from accessing the site, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
