In order to secure your admin area from hackers, we recommended you to allow access only from your selected IP to your admin directory. You just need to create an .htaccess file in the directory where you want to restrict access by IP Address.
For example, if you have a WordPress blog installed on your main directory like example.com/wp-admin, you should create an .htaccess file in /wp-admin/.htaccess and you should put this code in, and not forget to replace the allowed IP address with your IP address.
order deny,allow deny from all allow from YOUR-IP-ADDRESS-HERE
(Replace “Your-IP-Address-Here” text with your IP Address)
You can test this by accessing your /wp-admin IP address from another IP address which is not allowed by your .htaccess file.
For security purposes, we recommend that you to disable directory browsing on your website so no one can see the files/folders of your website. You can disable Directory Browsing by adding this line to your .htaccess file.
If a page on your website no longer exist and you want to redirect it to your new page or website then you can use the .htaccess file for redirection without waiting.
Redirect from a page/directory to another domain or the main domain:
Redirect from a specific page to a domain: RewriteEngine on Redirect 301 /mypage.html http://example.com
Redirect from a page to another page: Redirect from a page/directory to another page Redirect 301 /oldpage.html /newpage.html
Now, whenever you open the url example.com/oldpage.html, it will automatically redirect you to example.com/newpage.html.
