An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a web server how to act in certain cases. It should be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Many script-driven applications use this sort of a file to perform correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with personalized content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will be displayed rather than 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 significantly better control over your presence online.
