An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives that tell a web server how to behave in specific occasions. It must be put in the folder where these directives should be performed. Many script-driven apps use such a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with customized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which will show up rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your web presence.
