With an .htaccess file, you shall determine how the server which manages the requests to your websites have to act in a variety of occasions. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
