An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a server how to behave in particular events. It needs to be placed into the folder where these directives should be executed. Many script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with customized content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will appear rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect 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.
