An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a server how to act in specific events. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven applications use this type of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with custom made content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that shall show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your presence online.
