An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives which tell a server how to act in particular occasions. It must be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven applications employ this sort of a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with personalized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you will have more effective control over your presence online.
