An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives that tell a web server how to operate in specific events. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven applications use such a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with custom content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages which shall appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your world-wide web presence.
