An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a server how to behave in specific events. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven applications employ this sort of a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with customized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have far better control over your online presence.
