With an .htaccess file, you will determine how the server which handles the requests to your Internet sites must act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are executed when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the site, so the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You may also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.

We have an easy-to-work-with .htaccess generator tool that will permit you to create and use this type of files without difficulties even if you do not have previous experience and you do not know the syntax of the particular directives for this type of a file. The tool is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our website hosting and any option within it can be activated by selecting acheckbox and eventually by inputting a username or a URL, depending on what exactly you need to do with the .htaccess file. You may also choose where the file should be created, so you won't have to do anything by hand before or after that. With an .htaccess file, you will also be able to select the PHP version that'll be active for a particular domain, regardless if it is not the same version as the one for the whole account.
