An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a web server how to operate in certain events. It needs to be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with customized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your world-wide web presence.
