An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives that tell a web server how to behave in certain occasions. It should be positioned in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven applications employ this type of a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall be displayed rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your web presence.
