It is another thing if the decision was made due to notice from your government. Otherwise, as a Chinese and someone pretty pissed off by what Putin did (not just recently in Ukraine, he is been crazy long before that), I'm sorry, this decision is beyond stupid.
Imagine a Russian kid just done protecting, escaped the police assert and got this email on their way home, how they would feel? The word is probably Betrayed.
I'm not a customer of Namecheap and I don't know the rationale behind it. But if the Russian government or oligarchs are using your service, maybe ban them directly. Not all Russian are pro-war. Your passionate sanction will just make the life of regular Russians harder and push them to the very authoritarian government that they might disagree with, simply because it's the only government willing to treat them more fairly.
One funny story: Awhile back I've read a discussion about US sanctions against China on an underground Chinese website. One of the funny reply said something like "In the end this website will shutdown probably not due to crackdown, but because the owner cannot pay for the hosting fee from their Chinese credit card".
I hope the company reconsider it.
