With an .htaccess file, you can define how the web server that manages the requests to your Internet sites have to act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from accessing the website, therefore the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain name to a different URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or preserve any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
