With an .htaccess file, you can specify how the server which addresses the requests to your web sites must act in different situations. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when an individual tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For instance, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the site, which means that the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server will redirect the visitor to the new web address. You can 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, including Joomla™, WordPress and Drupal™, use an .htaccess file to operate properly.

.htaccess Generator in Shared Hosting

When you get any of our shared hosting packages, you can take advantage of our user-friendly .htaccess generator tool, which is part of the Hepsia CP. You will not need to know what syntax the various directives in such a file should have, since our tool is very simple to use and you will only have to check boxes or type in URLs, so you can easily use an .htaccess file even in case you have never had a hosting account before. Our .htaccess generator gives a large amount of options - you may block IP addresses, set the first page that loads when someone opens your site, set up password protection, forward a domain to another web address, enable PHP in HTML files, enable Server Side Includes, and more. You'll even be able to set a different PHP version for each one of your Internet sites.

.htaccess Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to use our powerful, albeit simple-to-use .htaccess generator tool, that's provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You may select the folder in which the file will be set up and after that you will simply need to select a checkbox next to every single option that you'd like to use - it is as basic as that. If you want to set up URL forwarding or to set custom error pages for each of your Internet sites, you'll have to enter a web address, but you will not need to type in any special code at any time, so you can easily use our tool even if you do not have previous experience. Due to the fact that our innovative Internet hosting platform supports a number of different versions of PHP, you'll also be able to choose the version that any site shall use, even if it isn't identical to the one selected for the account as a whole.
