An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a server how to act in specific cases. It must be placed into the folder where these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven apps employ such a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with custom made content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will be displayed instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your presence online.
