An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a server how to act in specific situations. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Loads of script-driven apps use such a file to work properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with custom content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which shall be displayed rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have far better control over your presence online.
