An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a web server how to behave in particular occasions. It needs to be placed into the folder where these directives should be executed. Numerous script-driven apps use this kind of a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with custom content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that shall appear rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct 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 world-wide web presence.
