An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a web server how to behave in particular cases. It must be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven applications use such a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with personalized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
