An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a web server how to operate in certain occasions. It should be placed into the folder where these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. 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 particular sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages that will be displayed 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 much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
