Domain registrar and hosting provider Namecheap is terminating service provision for customers based in Russia in the face of what it describes as \u201cwar crimes\u201d committed in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

An email sent Monday from Namecheap to customers, and shared online<\/a> by various customers of the company, reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, due to the Russian regime\u2019s war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine, we will no longer be providing services to users registered in Russia. While we sympathize that this war may not affect your own views or opinion on the matter, the fact is, your authoritarian government is committing human rights abuses and engaging in war crimes so this is a policy decision we have made and will stand by.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original email gave customers until March 6th to transfer domains to another provider, and states that Namecheap will assist them in the process; Namecheap has since revised this deadline to March 22nd.<\/p>\n
