An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives that tell a web server how to operate in specific cases. It should be put in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven apps use this kind of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with customized content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which shall appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your presence online.
