An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a server how to act in certain situations. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven apps employ this sort of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with personalized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your presence online.
