An .htaccess file is a text file which contains directives which tell a web server how to act in specific situations. It must be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven applications use this type of a file to perform correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this type of a file with custom made content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain websites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall show up instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have more effective control over your world-wide web presence.
