An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a server how to operate in certain cases. It must be positioned in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps employ this type of a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your web presence.
