Are .uk, .ru, .win domains blocked by a lot of filters? (alien.top)

Hi all

I’m looking to buy some custom domains and narrowed down to these reasonably priced ones. I believe they all have whois protection.

I’ve read that lots of sites block .xyz domains because .xyz domains are notoriously known for spam. Does anyone know if .uk, .ru, .win domains are mostly considered clean and not normally blocked?

Thanks in advance

.uk probably not. But higher chance of getting blackholed or rejected with .ru and .win.

Why not just .com .net .org? They're reasonably priced on spaceship, cloudflare, porkbun. They'll save yourself the hassles of playing mind game thinking about your mail deliverability.
