With an .htaccess file, you will specify how the web server that manages the requests to your websites must act in various cases. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. As an example, you may block a particular IP address from accessing your website, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to an alternative URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or shield any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many well-known script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to function properly.
