An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a server how to operate in specific occasions. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven applications employ this type of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with custom content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
