With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the server that deals with the requests to your web sites must act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are executed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you could block a specific IP address from accessing the website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use personalized error pages or secure any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
