An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a web server how to operate in certain situations. It should be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. Many script-driven applications employ this type of a file to perform properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with custom made content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your web presence.
