With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server that manages the requests to your web sites must act in different cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you could block a particular IP address from opening your website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, like Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
