An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a server how to operate in specific situations. It needs to be put in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with custom made content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your online presence.
