An .htaccess file is a text file which incorporates directives which tell a web server how to act in certain situations. It needs to be placed in the folder where these directives should be performed. Loads of script-driven apps employ such a file to operate properly - WordPress and Joomla™, in particular. You can use this sort of a file with customized content as well and do quite a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or certain sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that shall appear instead of the server-generated ones if a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your web presence.
