An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives which tell a web server how to operate in specific events. It should be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven apps use this type of a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with custom content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your online presence.
