Axshare.com blocked by IT department

technical-troubleshooting
#1

I am building several prototypes for organization that will need to be accessed by potential clients. Our IT has deemed that axshare.com has been used in malicious email campaigns, and therefore has blocked the URL.

  • Is it reasonable to assume axshare.com could be a security threat and therefore blocked? If not, tell me why.
  • Assuming that I cannot get that domain to be unblocked by our IT team, what are my options for hosting our prototypes on a private domain or subdomain?
