An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a server how to operate in certain situations. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven applications employ this type of a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which shall appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your presence online.
