An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a web server how to act in specific situations. It should be positioned in the folder where these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven applications use such a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom made content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your web presence.
