With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server which handles the requests to your Internet sites must act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you may block a specific IP address from opening the website, so the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
