While I deeply understand Namecheap's sentiment, it still feels as a bad move to me. IMHO, net neutrality shall be above this. If not, at some point in time we are just going to have Western, Russian and Chinese internet (the latter more or less already implemented).
I condemn this regime's war against Ukraine, and I will comply with your request. It is a small inconvenience compared to a disastrous tragedy that is happening before our eyes.
But you could provide us with a way to pay some sum instead of transferring our domains, so that you could donate to provide humanitarian relief to the suffering people of Ukraine. It's a bit dangerous to donate directly, you know.
Simply an American, and I’ll be moving my dozen domains off of Namecheap. Attacking 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.
As an American, this affirms Namecheap as my first choice. I would do everything in my power to isolate and fight against a country engaging in a war of conquest in the modern era. For me it would not be a choice.
What a dick move. Turning off services without warning is a brutal move, and taken against customers singly based on where they’re located is completely unjustified. At least give people some time to move away.
I wouldn’t trust Namecheap with my business after this. Who knows which customers their CEO will randomly decide to terminate without warning next?
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…
This is a ridiculous position to take and will lead to both needless pain and suffering (average Russian citizens have quite a lot to deal with, not the least of which being their devalued currency) and direct harm to actors inside and outside Russia using this infrastructure for critical communications. It's not at all a stretch to imagine that some of this infrastructure is being used to provide political and socia…
IMHO, when the collateral damage is that some of your employees are sleeping in metro tunnels and some of their neighbours are dead because of the bombs falling on their cities, cutting off customers from the country invading them is very very justified.
