An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a web server how to operate in particular situations. It should be positioned in the folder where these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven apps employ this sort of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with custom content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which shall be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your web presence.
