An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a web server how to operate in certain events. It must be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven applications employ this sort of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with custom content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will show up rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have much better control over your web presence.
