If you're still with namecheap switch away. https://archive.is/VUX9D

Dear XXXX,
Unfortunately, due to the Russian regime's war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine, we will no longer be providing services to users registered in Russia. While we sympathize that this war may not affect your own views or opinion on the matter, the fact is, your authoritarian government is committing human rights abuses and engaging in war crimes so this is a policy decision we have made and will stand by.
If you hold any top-level domains with us, we ask that you transfer them to another provider by March 6, 2022.
Additionally, and with immediate effect, you will no longer be able to use Namecheap Hosting, EasyWP, and Private Email with a domain provided by another registrar in zones .ru, .xn--p1ai (рф), .by, .xn--90ais (бел), and .su. All websites will resolve to 403 Forbidden, however, you can contact us to assist you with your transfer to another provider.
Customer Support, Namecheap

Comments weren't supportive so the CEO logs in to do damage control
We haven't blocked the domains, we are asking people to move. There are plenty of other choices out there when it comes to infrastructure services so this isn't "deplatforming". I sympathize with people that are not pro regime but ultimately even those tax dollars they may generate go to the regime. We have people on the ground in Ukraine being bombarded now non stop. I cannot with good conscience continue to support the Russian regime in any way, shape or form. People that are getting angry need to point that at the cause, their own government. If more grace time is necessary for some to move, we will provide it. Free speech is one thing but this decision is more about a government that is committing war crimes against innocent people that we want nothing to do with.

We have over 1000 people on the ground there, mostly in Kharkiv. We have been working 24/7 to try to get them to safety. While I haven't experienced anywhere near the suffering they have. I haven't slept almost anything for days trying to help in every way possible to get them to safety. Don't make assumptions.

We aren't removing services, we are asking people to find another provider. There are thousands out there. We aren't a monopoly here.

Ukrainian citizens are doing just fine at kicking your governments ass at this time, sacrificing their lives while at it. Time to do more and rise up. If they can do it, you can. Take control against your own corrupt and bloodthirsty government, at least you won't be under threat of nuclear attack and constant carpet bombing like the ukrainians while you're doing it.

I've seen some uprisings and they've been put down and definitely respect and sympathize with those people and as I said we will try not apply this policy towards those by making exceptions but those people are a minority. In fact Navalny, is one of my personal heroes. Probably one of the bravest men I've seen in my lifetime but most Russians don't feel this way. There needs to be more done.

BS no shoes, no shirt, no service. Ever heard about that? If we were a monopoly, fine, there are plenty of other services out there. Over 1000 registrars including several in Russia.

We've never focused any of our business in China with intention. I didn't want our company to acquise and sell it's soul to do business there so we purposely avoided it all these years. We may have some customers there but not very many that I am aware of.
Click to expand...

Sure but I don't want our company to be a factor in that contribution. I'm sure there are plenty of others out there willing to take the money and provide these services. If there are anti-government non profits out there, We'll consider keeping those up with us if you'd still want anything to do with us.
If you are no longer based in Russia and not doing business there, we'll consider that as well.

Your registrar must deny a transfer request in the following limited circumstances:
  • Domain name is subject to 60-Day Change of Registrant lock
Click to expand...
There are other possible locks, but I guess this is the only one the registrar can't choose to waive. The other restrictions also last 60 days each.

These locks make the whole registrar jumping business complicated even during normal times, people have to get warned to not do certain things in close proximity to eachother if they don't want to be vendor locked, which is troublesome of they don't have a habit of messing with their domains and suddenly want to do everything at once after they finally sign in again.

I'm no expert but a deadline of March 6th seems like an unreasonably short notice. When people want to move, NameCheap is authorized to force them to stay for up to 60 days against their will. When both NameCheap and their customers want the customer gone, ICANN can force both parties to put up with eachother for up to 60 days. Maybe a GTFO notice should be made at least 60 days in advance, just to be sure that people are even permitted to comply with your demands?

The situation is sending everyone into a tailspin and it's bizarre to see.

A conservative MP in the UK said in a radio interview couple days back that all Russians living in the UK should be rounded up and deported :stress:

Which dickhead was this and how is he dumb enough to honestly believe that punishing the Russians will punish Putin? Imagine thinking that politicians reflect the people...

Roger Gale, who is not only an MP but a knight to boot... jfc

Just saw something about Google banning russian news channels. Putin is Hitler and the Russian people are Nazis. Any other opinion is wrong think and propaganda.

Thank you, I'll keep an eye out for that mug popping up in the future.

It's a bloody travesty, I'm quite fond of the Ruskies, their working class fit in quite nicely with our own. We seem to share a common cynicism. Particularly for our elites.

Never heard of this host. And doggies are great, but I don't think internet hosting is of much use to them. Seriously it is that. The signs were substantially a result of the PIRA campaign, and a traditional contempt, a contempt I see roughly paralleled with how various dim bulb retards (like that Tory MP) attack all Russians online (not in the real world was actual violence would make them poop rhemselves).

Anyhow fuck these cancellers, whoever they are.
 
The japanese were pretty pissed off when the US stuffed japamericans into camps during WWII, and yet I expect the same to happen to Russians somewhere when the time comes. This bit here is just the tip of the iceberg.
 
I am calling for an immediate moratorium on all status signaling until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

I'll be surprised if it doesn't to be honest. Everybody on the internet & our retarded governments seem to have gone full tribal mode & seem to want to go ape shit. I'm more impressed that the camps haven't started yet or that namecheap hasn't asked people to go fight for ukraine yet. "We will provide free domain names to anybody who willingly fights for ukraine."

For all the leftist talk about discrimination and racism being wrong I can definitely see them starting Russian concentration camps in the future.

As usual, discrimination, xenophobia, racism and prejudice is good, but only when us leftists do it.

That's exactly what I thought of with this irrational, knee jerk reaction to anything Russian, even immigrated Russian people. It's slowly approaching Manzanar levels of antagonism all over again but with a different group.
