An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives which tell a web server how to act in specific events. It must be put in the folder where these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven applications use this kind of a file to perform correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with customized content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will be displayed rather than 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 significantly better control over your web presence.
