An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives which tell a web server how to act in certain events. It must be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven applications use this type of a file to perform properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your online presence.
