An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives that tell a web server how to act in particular situations. It needs to be placed into the folder where these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven apps employ this type of a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which shall appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your web presence.
