Why are URL's case sensitive? Ie., entering www.hawthornetechsvcs.com/services.html vs. www.hawthornetechsvcs.com/Services.html

Hello chuckbower, Thank you for your question. On most servers (except some windows servers), all URL's are case-sensitive, the domain name section however is not, for example these will both work: http://hawthornetechsvcs.com & HTTP://HAWTHORNETECHSVCS.COM Everything following that is specifying a specific file or folder for example: Services.html I recommend using all lowercase in website file names, to make it more consistent. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul
