An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives which tell a web server how to act in particular events. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps use such a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will be displayed rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, 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 more effective control over your web presence.
