Mod_Rewrite
What is mod_rewrite?
Mod Rewrite allows you to change the URL that everyone sees when they visit your domain or a specific address. Just add the code to your .htaccess file (typically the one inside public_html).
Please remember we do not offer support to code this, nor do we promise to make your code work. Some of these codes work in combination, and some do not.
EXAMPLES
#Specify a default home page (index page)
DirectoryIndex home.html#Allow only specified IPs to access your site
