I get that, and you're totally entitled to do this. And you're probably right that ends justify the means. And, probably, total damage will be worth it. But, in my insignificant personal case, I will be busy moving domains and paying for transfers instead of doing what I've been doing and spending money on what I've been spending it for the last 5 days, helping people detained and/or arrested for participating in ant…
Contact us, we'll make exceptions in cases like this. Thanks for what you are doing.
Are you now going to ask for the voter record of each of your customers?
Or what is the appropriate anti-Putin a customer must have to be allowed to use your company's services?

#864You are just like the hacking group `Anonymous`.
You will target easy prey like Russia, but you would never dare to go up against your lord and master, my country, the USA -- even when it does something wrong.
Re: Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
#865We 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…
I hope everyone leaves your service. Since the US did the same last year would you remove all US based domains? yeah. i thought so.

> People that are getting angry need to point that at the cause, their own government.
This is absurd in general, and more absurd in a pseudo-democracy where elections are rigged and the man in charge listens to no-one.
I understand from the thread that NameCheap has staff in Ukraine that are currently fighting for their lives. This is extremely tough for everyone involved.
But punishing Russian individuals who are on the good side of this fight is a knee-jerk reaction. It doesn't make sense and does more harm than good.
Re: Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
#867It may interest you to know that Namecheap, just a few days ago, banned a few domain names purely based on an ambiguous tweet that got 8 likes , that didn't even ask for those domains to be banned or cite any ToS violation. https://twitter.com/Namecheap/status/1489485337885921284 Namecheap then reverted that decision when they got ratioed (with no tweets supporting their decision). I've never heard of these domain na…
I am moving my domains off NameCheap too. This is ridiculous behaviour from a for-profit organisation; the only transaction I am interested in with Namecheap is I give you money and you act as the middle man in registering my domain. Spare me the political and social grandstanding. I am not interested in your views on either topic.
It looks like Namecheap has 1700 employees in Ukraine and an office in Kharkiv: https://www.namecheap.com/careers/ukraine

#868War should not be about issues outside of war. Even Rome accepted enemy athletes into the Olympics.
Re: Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
#869Given that Russian vodka is blacklisted from stores in USA (and Finland!) and replaced with message "we stand with Ukraine", it's not really surprising. I read interview with somebody from Russia yesterday, russian tracks getting their tires punctured in EU and get stuck because credit cards don't work anymore. Ships refuse to offload goods in Russian ports and drop them of "wherever in Europe". Russian companies can…
Not that it makes a whole lot of difference, but those explosions don't appear to cluster munitions. Probably some kind of fragmentation rocket fired from a grad[0]. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-21_Grad
They been finding cassetes. Most likely uragan. grad is more straight-forward. Also in another bombardment were found scattered around those lovely things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PFM-1 .
It's also been shot by uragan

I'm very angry after your email.
I'm not registered in Russia, I'm not Russian, it's not my authoritarian government, but anyway you're right all west governments became authoritarian lately and committed human rights abuses against their own citizens, Canada, Italy, USA, Germany, France......
Don't get involved in political matters, politicians just follow their own interests, they don't mind anymore about their voters, they are like a flag.
With your email you are declaring war to me, my company could be bring you to court or I can start a personal war.
Think twice before jumping inside something much bigger than you, world wars start in that way, you are still in time.
With love
