An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives that tell a web server how to act in particular events. It should be put in the folder where these directives should be executed. Many script-driven applications use this kind of a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this kind of a file with personalized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages that will show up rather than server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have more effective control over your world-wide web presence.
