With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the web server which deals with the requests to your web sites must act in various situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your site and what happens next will depend on the content of the file. For example, you could block a certain IP address from opening your website, and the server will decline the 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 could also use custom-made error pages or preserve any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file inside the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Joomla™ and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.

.htaccess Generator in Cloud Web Hosting

We have an easy-to-use .htaccess generator tool which will allow you to create and use this type of files without trouble even if you have no previous experience and you do not know the syntax of the specific directives for this kind of a file. The tool is part of the Hepsia CP, offered with our cloud web hosting service and any option inside it can be activated by choosing acheckbox and eventually by typing a username or a URL, depending on what exactly you would like to do with the .htaccess file. You may also decide where the file should be created, so you will not need to do anything manually after or before that. By using an .htaccess file, you'll be able to select the PHP version that will be enabled for a given domain, regardless if it is not the same version as the one for the whole account.
