With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the web server that deals with the requests to your websites have to act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are performed when an individual tries to open your site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an example, you can block a particular IP address from opening the website, and the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use tailor-made error pages or preserve any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to function correctly.

We have an intuitive .htaccess generator tool that will allow you to set up and use such files with no trouble even if you do not have previous experience and you do not know the syntax of the particular directives for this sort of a file. The tool is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with our Linux cloud hosting and any option in it can be enabled by choosing acheckbox and eventually by inputting a username or a URL, based on what exactly you need to do with the .htaccess file. You could also select where the file should be created, so you shall not have to do anything manually before or after that. Using an .htaccess file, you shall also be able to select the PHP version which will be enabled for a specific domain, regardless if it isn't the same version as the one for the entire account.

Our semi-dedicated server solutions include an .htaccess generator tool, that's easy enough to be used by people without previous experience. You shall be able to access it using your Hepsia CP and benefit from an intuitive interface to enable any option you would like. When you choose the folder where our system will create the .htaccess file, you simply need to check the boxes next to the options that you'd like to activate, then save the changes and you will be all set. The one thing you'll have to type in manually will be a URL - if you would like to use the .htaccess file to redirect one of your domains/subdomains to another address or if you prefer to use customized error pages. Our platform will also allow you to set the PHP version which an Internet site will use by putting an .htaccess file inside its root folder, even when your account in general uses a different version.
