An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives which tell a server how to operate in particular cases. It needs to be positioned in the folder where these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven applications employ this sort of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla, in particular. You can use this type of a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will be displayed instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
