An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a web server how to act in particular cases. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps use this kind of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this kind of a file with custom content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
