With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites must act in various scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, like WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
