With an .htaccess file, you'll define how the server that deals with the requests to your websites should act in various scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For instance, you can block a specific IP address from accessing the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to another URL, so the server will direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use personalized error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many widely used script-driven apps, including Joomla™, Drupal™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work efficiently.

Our platform will also permit you to set the PHP version which a site will use by adding an .htaccess file in its root folder, regardless if your account in general uses a different version.
