An .htaccess file is a text file that features directives which tell a server how to operate in certain events. It needs to be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven apps use this type of a file to function properly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this type of a file with customized content too and do lots of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages which will show up rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the site, redirect a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your online presence.
