It depends on the part of the URL. The main part of the URL (such as www.peoplepc.com) can be written in either lowercase or capital letters. However individual directory or file names (anything that comes after the main part of the URL) are case-sensitive. If the URL of a directory is in all lowercase (such as www.peoplepc.com/faq/index.asp), you won’t be able to access it if you type in www.peoplepc.com/FAQ/index.asp or www.peoplepc.com/Faq/index.asp. For this reason, most URLs are in all lowercase letters. If you do see file names written in some combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, be sure to them into your browser exactly as they appear.
