An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a server how to operate in certain occasions. It needs to be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications use this sort of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which shall appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your online presence.
