An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular occasions. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven applications use such a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall show up rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have more effective control over your online presence.
