No, the domain name system is case insensitive.


Intercapping is often used to emphasize the meaning of a domain name.
However, DNS names are case-insensitive, and some names may be
misinterpreted in certain uses of capitalization, creating slurls. For
example: Who Represents, a database of artists and agents, chose
whorepresents.com, which can be misread as whore presents. Similarly,
a therapists' network is named therapistfinder.com. In such
situations, the proper meaning may be clarified by use of hyphens in
the domain name. For instance, Experts Exchange, a programmers'
discussion site, for a long time used expertsexchange.com, but
ultimately changed the name to experts-exchange.com.

Intellectual property entrepreneur Leo Stoller threatened to sue the
owners of StealThisEmail.com on the basis that, when read as
stealthisemail.com, it infringed on claimed (but invalid) trademark
rights to the word "stealth".
