An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in particular cases. It must be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven apps employ this type of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with custom content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which shall show up instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your web presence.
