An .htaccess file is a text file which features directives that tell a server how to act in specific events. It should be placed into the folder in which these directives should be executed. Many script-driven applications employ this kind of a file to operate correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use this sort of a file with customized content too and do a wide range of things - block an IP address, an entire network or particular sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which will show up instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to another web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have significantly better control over your presence online.
