With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server which handles the requests to your web sites have to act a number of situations. 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 illustration, you could block a specific IP address from accessing your website, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to an alternative URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven applications, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
