    Hypertext Access, commonly shortened to htaccess,
    They are placed inside the web tree, and are able to override a subset of the server's global configuration for the directory that they are in, and all sub-directories.

    For more information check this useful resources

    You can also deny and allow Ip in .htaccess which you do not want access your website.

    an htaccess file can do many things. redirect, handle errors, write custom url's, block access to users, authenticate users, hide webpages, etc.....
