An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives that tell a server how to behave in specific cases. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven applications use this type of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with personalized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will appear rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your presence online.
