With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server that handles the requests to your Internet sites must act in different occasions. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you can block a specific IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to a different URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You can also use customized error pages or protect any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, including Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.
