An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives which tell a server how to operate in specific situations. It should be placed in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven applications employ this type of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with customized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall 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 different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
