Domain Name Capitalization on Web Browsers

[AMRO1001]

Just came to my mind why browsers would not implement technology to enable website owners to change the display of domains on the url bar in terms of capitalization, maybe html tag for domain display for example...so domain will be displayed www. TestTeam .com on all browsers

This will make many domains look more attractive

@LoveCatchyDomains Because this thread started differently, namely about an idea/suggestion to make it possible to present the domain name differently in the URL location bar itself, confusion has arisen throughout this thread. As for CamelCasing the domain name on the lander website, I agree with you. That can be useful for the presentation.

Yes, sorry for any confusion.

My mention of tangentiality may have gone unnoticed.

The presentation of the domain name in the body of the lander issue is different from the URL issue. However, camel casing for both wouldn't be a bad idea--unless Unix/Linux servers involved can't handle that seamlessly.

I foresee issues with that proposal.

This will never be implemented for security reasons. The website owner can't just decide that they want to capitalize paypai.com as paypaI.com or openal.com as OPENAl.com

Thanks for the astute insights, including the Linux/Unix server issue regarding capitalization.
While this might be a tangential issue, it is curious that the Afternic Dan landers convert the caps of a domain name to lower case. How it presents in the browser URL may not matter that much, but how it presents in the body of the page may.
@GoDaddy, can this be fixed, especially if it's a Linux/Unix server issue?

It's down to individual browsers, service providers, or in this case, marketplaces. As far as Afternic is concerned, we're currently working on camel casing options for some of our landers. Stay tuned!

IoI.com is not lol.com

Capital "i" versus lowercase "l"

Yes, see my second paragraph

Geez, completely missed that. That's what happens when you don't take the time to actually read. Would be cool to see such a meta tag come to existence soon though.
