An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in specific occasions. It must be put in the folder where these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven apps use this sort of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this type of a file with custom content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or certain websites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
