It's a Ukrainian company, even though they are registered in multiple nations. 95% of the employees are in Ukraine. They (their actual city and homes) are being bombed by Russia and Russians. Even if they had 5% of their company in Ukraine, it's reasonable to not provide service to companies that enrich the people bombing their employees.

I agree that they don’t want to have relationships with the aggressors and totally accept this. But you should admit it is done by Russian government and I as Russian citizen with residency in the UK have nothing with it. I didn’t choose to be born in Russia and I left Russia almost three years ago.

So let's say it was WW2 and it was a Jewish company refusing to provide a service to Germans in Germany. You would never use their service again? You'd blame the Jews?

rganeyev · 4 years ago

Don't try to diverge my words. Here's an American company refusing to provide a service to Russians outside of Russia. I blame American company for their decision.

The right analogy with WW2 is Australian company refusing to provide a service to Germans living in America. WTF?

This is how economic sanctions work. You hit the nation economically to put pressure on the politicians. In any case people are at least in part responsible for their governments. If you have an issue with it, join protests against Putin, do things to stop him from committing murder and war crimes. In the meantime, the sanctions here are not your fault, nor are they Namecheaps - they are Putin's fault.

For the record, it is not a sanction, it's a choice for the private company. And I don't have an issue with it at all, I know that I will never use their services ever again, as they ruined their reputation in one day.

This whole situation is a tragedy. I don't know your life story and base my comments on the tone of your replies in this thread.

The world is going to hold the Russian population accountable to some degree for the war their government have started whether you think this is fair or not. And I think your attitude of aggression, victimhood and being wronged is not going to help you in the coming years. You would probably be better served with some humility, empathy and feel of responsibility even if you think it is unjust. The real victims are the Ukrainian civilians being bombed by your government at the moment. Not inconvenienced Russians who feel they are unjustly punished.

You don't know my life story but you accused me for supporting the war; you don't know all Russians, but labelled all the people just by nationality. How different are you from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?

Just simple test: I have 3-5 reachouts every day for relocation help from Ukraine and Russia. I will say them: "Hey, danols from HN told me that I'm russian therefore I should support the war. please contact to him". Are you ready to take responsibility for them and help them all?

UPD: I wrote this in emotions, I'm sorry. But I'm truly offended by your accusation

You have made three statements and not a single one express any sympathy with their situation. Only your own victimhood and one blanket statement you don't support the government. Their employees are being shelled with cluster bombs by your government as we speak.

I think it is time you face reality that the world is going to start to hold the Russian people accountable for their governments actions. I feel sympathy with the Russian people since many don't support this war or even their government but at some point they are going to have to get uncomfortable and take risks and stand up to the government.

rganeyev · 4 years ago

From the day 1 I publicly made a statement on my Fb and LinkedIn and offered relocation help for Russian and Ukrainian people. And as I’ve said earlier, I don’t live in Russia, I don’t support “my” government and their actions.

There are thousands of Russians who got into jail for the protests.

How dare you blame people just because of the place they were born?

You should email their support. I don't think they actually want to terminate your particular account, I think they only want to target people and companies who are actually in Russia (so they looked for Russian addresses and payment methods on file).

Their communication on this issue was terrible in many ways, but honestly I can't blame a company who's literally being shelled today for missing the mark once.

rganeyev · 4 years ago

And even if I lived in Russia, why would the private company would terminate the contract? Just because they wanted to? They just ruined their reputation and I wonder if it is a matter of discrimination and a reason for the lawsuit?

That’s wrong as both statements are false for me. They just simply queried the citizenship field on registration, I assume.

I’ve already contacted to their support, but meanwhile I am looking for the provider who respects my privacy as well as doesn’t give a shit about the nationality, skin color, religion etc.

If you live in your father’s home while he is murdering your neighbors for their land, you do have a responsibility to stop him or share in his fate.

rganeyev · 4 years ago

I was born in Russia but I live in the UK. I don’t give a shit about Russian regime nor support the war. For what reason I got punished for being Russian citizen? How’s that different from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?

I support your stance on this.

Speaking as a Namecheap customer for several years now.

rganeyev · 4 years ago

Why do you support this dump decision as it doesn’t help fighting the regime?

I just learnt in hard way that I am blamed for being Russian citizen(by ethnicity I’m not Russian), even if I live, work, pay all taxes in the UK?

How it’s different from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?

I am a Russian citizen from birth who permanently lives and works in the UK. I do not support Russian regime in any way and offered my help with relocation to Russian and Ukrainian citizens from the start - see my post in LinkedIn. On namecheap I hold non-ru related domain paid till February 2023.

So what the heck they are blaming me for being Russian and terminating the contract without any agreement?
