An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a web server how to act in particular occasions. It should be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications employ such a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. 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 specific websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that shall be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your world-wide web presence.
