An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a web server how to operate in specific events. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps employ this sort of a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with personalized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which shall show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your online presence.
