With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server which manages the requests to your Internet sites have to act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can also use custom error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.
