An .htaccess file is a text file that contains directives that tell a web server how to act in certain events. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. Many script-driven applications use this type of a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content too and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom made error pages that shall be displayed instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, 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 much better control over your web presence.
