While I'm not from Russia, I guess I have to move domains to the registrar in my country. It's just not safe to do any business abroad, when I can't go to the court in case of anything happens and all my property could be seized if someone wouldn't like actions of my government.
I think it's pretty ironic, considering that that's probably the one thing domain owners in Russia wouldn't want - the Russian government being able to seize the domain.

#23Attacking random Russians for something you don’t like of their leader is as dumb as post-9/11 Sikh bashing or interning German/Italian/Japanese after Pearl Harbor and the war declaration.
Way to make a shit situation worse.

#24Isn't it a discrimination based on nationality? We're a small company in Russia and things are already hard for us. And now this. We do not support Putin or his war, why hit on us?

#25Great, now amid looking for ways to get my family out I also have to find another registrar who will not do the same thing and transfer my domains so that my cloud and email are still working. Any politically neutral registrars that HN crowd can recommend?

Ultimately, people in Russia are paying taxes towards this war, and have some responsibility for their government.

#29They have 1700 staff in Ukraine, by far the majority of their employees, so it's not surprising that they see things differently to others. https://www.namecheap.com/careers/ukraine/
