With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the server that deals with the requests to your web sites should act in a variety of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you can block a particular IP address from accessing the Internet site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widespread script-driven apps, like Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
