An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives which tell a web server how to behave in certain cases. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with customized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your web presence.
