An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a server how to operate in certain events. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. A lot of script-driven applications employ such a file to perform efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use such a file with personalized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set tailor-made error pages that will appear rather than the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, create a password-protected area plus more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your web presence.
