With my web host, anything you enter after the .com/ has to be case sensitive. For example, if I have a folder entitled SUPPORT, then you must type www.mydomain.com/SUPPORT or else you will get a 404 error. To circumvent this, I have been adding redirects in my .htaccess file. It seems, however, there should be an alternative that will ignore the case and resolve the web address accordingly?

The standard usually expected is to simply use lower case for all of the file names and avoid using upper case letters completely when naming your files. That way you avoid the whole issue.
