An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a server how to behave in particular situations. It must be put in the folder where these directives should be performed. Numerous script-driven apps use such a file to function correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with personalized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set personalized 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'll have significantly better control over your world-wide web presence.
