With an .htaccess file, you can define how the web server that handles the requests to your web sites must act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you can block a certain IP address from accessing the Internet site, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use customized error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
