That raises a question: how to find a domain registar without a lot of Ukrainian employees ?
According to the recent leak, Epik has them a lot as well.
Could we crowdsource such a list of registrars sorted by nationality of their employees to be prepared to the geo risks?
Other people are trying to move to Cloudflare -- but my banking cards are already not working, and I can't pay in USD for their services. Plus to that, even if somebody manages to move to Cloudflare or GoDaddy, there's no guarantee that they won't pull the plug as well.
People here are suggesting nic.ru, which I presume would have a pretty low risk of getting kicked off.
You might consider a list of registrars that do stuff you disagree with instead.
I would prefer to work with companies where different nationalities are represented.
90%+ of employees in one country (be it Ukraine, Russia, USA or China) is a geo-risk for clients.
And mind you, Namecheap doesn't ban clients based on their agreement or disagreement with something. It bans pro-Ukrainian dissidents in Russia too.
Racism culture thrives in mono-ethnic companies and this Namecheap case is a good example
