An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a web server how to operate in specific cases. It needs to be positioned in the folder in which these directives should be performed.

You can use such a file with personalized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will be displayed instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your presence online.
