An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives which tell a web server how to act in certain cases. It should be put in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to perform correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with custom made content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that shall appear 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, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your presence online.
