An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a server how to act in certain cases. It needs to be put in the folder where these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven applications use this sort of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with customized content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which shall appear rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
