An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a web server how to behave in particular situations. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with custom content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
