An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular situations. It must be put in the folder in which these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven apps use this sort of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with customized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will show up rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your online presence.
