An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a server how to operate in certain occasions. It must be positioned in the folder where these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven applications employ this sort of a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla, for example. You can use such a file with custom made content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which will appear rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
