An .htaccess file is a text file which includes directives that tell a web server how to act in specific events. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven applications use this sort of a file to function efficiently - WordPress and Joomla, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with customized content as well and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that shall appear rather than the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, set up a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your online presence.
