An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a server how to behave in specific cases. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps employ such a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with custom content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall be displayed rather than 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 plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your online presence.
