An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a web server how to behave in certain occasions. It should be placed into the folder where these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven apps employ such a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this kind of a file with custom made content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will appear rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your web presence.
