An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a server how to operate in particular situations. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be carried out. Numerous script-driven apps use such a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with custom content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that will be displayed instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you will have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
