An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a server how to behave in particular situations. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications use this sort of a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with customized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will show up rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have significantly better control over your web presence.
