Some firewalls just block newly-registered domains. Are you totally sure it wasn’t that category?

  Yep, I checked other, established .zip domains. Finding one was quite a hard task, which gave me pause. I found a link shortener site on some Google promotional page for .zip (.zip is a Google-TLD). Accessing any .zip url was denied on the tested machines. So this matches what IT told me and what the sister comments state here: some tool blocks the whole .zip TLD on the DNS level.

    Tip: “nic.TLD” should always exist and will often be the first domain registered. It is operated by the domain’s registry. For example, see https://nic.zip https://nic.zip.

      Counterexample: https://nic.gy https://nic.gy https://registry.gy https://registry.gy

        Those are ccTLDs, which don't have any rules to abide by.

  Email servers also put a high spam score on new domains, from what I've witnessed.
