An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a server how to behave in particular events. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Many script-driven applications use such a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom made content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your presence online.
