An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a server how to operate in specific situations. It should be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven applications use this type of a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this kind of a file with personalized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct 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 significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
