.htaccess File

A buddy was asking me about .htaccess files so here you go.

A .htaccess or hypertext access file is a directory level configuration file supported by several web servers.
The original purpose of .htaccess was to allow directory access control. Now of days the .htaccess files can override many other configuration settings with in the website.

Here is an example:

AuthName "SiteName Administration"
AuthUserFile /home/sitename.com/.htpasswd
AuthType basic
Require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 24\.205\.23\.222
Allow from w3.org htmlhelp.com
Allow from googlebot.com
Satisfy Any

Free domain name for your Web Server

I have seen a few people asking about free domain names. I have been using .TK for years.  .TK has started to give people free DNS control on the free domain .TK gives out. This is a good way to get a domain up and going for free. I still think people should aim to get a .com but that is just me.

 

If you have a domain and want rename the domain, one can use .tk to rename their domain.

 

Here is the .tk link:


http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en
