An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives that tell a server how to operate in certain situations. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven applications use this sort of a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this type of a file with customized content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your presence online.
