This is a terrible move. Virtue signaling at it's worst. Putin literally gives p 0 f'ck about namecheap. It doesn't do squat to him but meanwhile you're hurting regular Russian users for something they have no control over. Do you think they will be pressuring Putin to stop the war bc they can't use namecheap anymore? They will likely to be more mad at the west. Lastly, doing this is just going to increase the segregation of the internet even more which goes completely against the original intention of the internet.

Virtue signaling is yelling about your virtues without actually getting off your ass and doing something.

This is very different, this is the company sacrificing some of their business to take a moral stance against a fascist regime invading a neighboring sovereign.

I don't care about this war, and all I get from this is that this domain registrar could block me with no notice for an abitrary reason. They (Namecheap) can do whatever they want, but I'll be actively working to deter people from using it.

The majority of Namecheap's employees live in Ukraine.
