An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in certain cases. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Many script-driven applications use this sort of a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with custom made content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall show up rather than server-generated ones in case 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 and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your world-wide web presence.
