An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a web server how to behave in specific situations. It needs to be positioned in the folder where these directives should be executed. Numerous script-driven apps employ such a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with custom content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your web presence.
