An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives that tell a server how to operate in specific cases. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven apps use this kind of a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use such a file with custom content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your presence online.
