With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the server which manages the requests to your websites must act in different occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you may block a specific IP address from opening your website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use personalized 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 apps, like WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
