An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a server how to operate in specific events. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Numerous script-driven applications use this type of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this kind of a file with custom made content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that will appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your web presence.
