An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a web server how to operate in certain events. It should be positioned in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Many script-driven applications use this kind of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this kind of a file with custom made 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 tailor-made error pages which will appear instead of the server-generated ones if 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 more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your world-wide web presence.
