I can always type a domain name in any combination of upper/lower case letters e.g.
www.MyDomain.Com, www.mydomain.com, www.MYDOMAIN.COM

Does it work the same for everyone? Is it ok when printing a name on a brochure to use some upper case letters? I like the way it separates the words.

I'm not certain about Opera users, but for PC/Mac it works the same.

And it not only helps to separate the words, it makes them easier to remember, so very good for a brochure.

It doesn't matter whether it's a PC/mac, what operating system or what browser. It's all the same and all work.

I think it depends on the server as to which you can use. A host of mine will not allow upper case letters and another is case sensitive so you must consider these sorts of issues.

The domain name can be any case. What comes after the domain name is dependent upon the server.

[google.com...] will work anywhere
[GOOGLE.COM...] will work anywhere
[ANYSITE.COME...] may or may not work, depending upon the server software and settings used by ANYSITE.COM

Thank you
That explains it all very well.
