An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a web server how to act in particular cases. It needs to be put in the folder where these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps use this type of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with personalized content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have more effective control over your web presence.
