Gandi still offers services in Russia and Belarus [1] while Namecheap discontinued its services to them [2].
No affiliation with Namecheap, just a happy customer of a company that is not supporting a dictatorial regime.

- sodality2 5y agoProviding services to Russians =/= supporting a dictatorial regime. That's very reductionist in my view. Many Russians simply cannot up and leave their country at once, or worse, maybe they are running a website that broadcasts against the Russian government, and Namecheap was one of their only options. I don't think it's as clear cut as "provide them service" but it's more nuanced than that/
- bartvk 5y ago> Gandi still offers services in Russia What does that tell you?
- mirekrusin 5y agoThat they don't answer to Uncle Sam?
- shiomiru 5y agoMeaning Namecheap treats those living under dictatorial regimes as second class people. As a citizen of a country headed in a similar direction, this only makes me less inclined to deal with the company.
