An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a web server how to operate in particular situations. It must be put in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Many script-driven applications use this kind of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla, for instance. You can use such a file with custom content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which will show up instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your online presence.
