An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a server how to operate in specific cases. It needs to be put in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven applications use this type of a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with custom made content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will appear rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your presence online.
