An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a server how to operate in particular occasions. It must be placed in the folder in which these directives should be carried out. A lot of script-driven apps employ such a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with custom content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages which will be displayed rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the site, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you will have much better control over your web presence.
