= Namecheap gives all Russian people and Russian domains 1 week to get lost. Disables hosting & email with zero notice. Hacker News debate with CEO here. =


For reference & discussion here, Namcheap CEO:
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

According to the email quoted in that thread, they have frozen hosting & email service without notice:
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.by, .xn--90aisand .su. All websites will resolve to 403 Forbidden, however, you can contact us to assist you with your transfer to another provider
