Same thing happened to me but with an .icu domain, it’s always better to buy an expensive domain extension than a cheap one https://ruky.me/2020/12/15/dont-buy-

- gravitas 6y agoWhile I only named .xyz above, my (enterprise) company blocks several other TLDs as well like .info, I'll check .icu when I'm back after holiday but would not doubt it's blocked. Corporate IT subscribes to some sort of hosted service, I would not doubt other companies are using this same service (name-brand).
- ryan29 6y agoAny idea why .info is blocked? I always considered it to be ok since it’s an ogTLD.
- gravitas 6y agoI think it's just part of some generic category of strict blocking used by the hosted service - there's a lot of other stuff blocked, we generally don't get reasons as users other than it being the corporate security posture. We are a business partner of many firms (some have high security due to their needs) so our company trends in that direction - maintaining compliance is a big deal, entire team(s) manage it at various levels.
- gto917 6y agoDo you know the name of the service? Blocking .xyz names as a whole would cut your company's employees off from accessing sites like Engine.xyz, ABC.xyz, and Starship.xyz.
