An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a server how to operate in specific situations. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven apps use this type of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with custom content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall show up rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward 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 significantly better control over your web presence.
