With an .htaccess file, you will define how the web server which addresses the requests to your Internet sites have to act in different scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you could block a specific IP address from accessing your website, therefore the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to a different URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You may also use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, including Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.

We have a time and effort saving .htaccess generator tool that will enable you to set up and use such files without difficulty even if you have no previous experience and you do not know the syntax of the particular directives for such a file. The tool is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with our shared website hosting and any option within it may be activated by selecting acheckbox and eventually by entering a username or a URL, depending on what exactly you want to do with the .htaccess file. You can also decide where the file should be created, so you won't have to do anything by hand after or before that. By using an .htaccess file, you'll also be able to select the PHP version that will be enabled for a particular domain, regardless if it is not the same version as the one for the entire account.
