With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server which deals with the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when someone tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you may block a certain IP address from accessing the Internet site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or preserve any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven applications, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate correctly.
