An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a server how to behave in specific occasions. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven apps use this sort of a file to perform properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with customized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages which shall appear rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have significantly better control over your online presence.

The tool is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with our Linux hosting packages and any option inside it can be activated by selecting acheckbox and eventually by entering a username or a URL, based upon what exactly you would like to do with the .htaccess file. You can also choose where the file should be created, so you won't need to do anything by hand after or before that.
