An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a web server how to behave in specific occasions. It must be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven apps use this kind of a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this type of a file with personalized content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your presence online.
