An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a web server how to behave in specific situations. It should be placed into the folder where these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom made content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular websites 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 another web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your web presence.
