An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a server how to behave in particular occasions. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps employ this sort of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom made 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 shall show up rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your presence online.
