An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a web server how to act in certain cases. It needs to be positioned in the folder where these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven applications use such a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with customized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will show up rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect 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 web presence.
