Namecheap offers free services to Russian dissidents
Namecheap will offer “free anonymous domain registration and free web hosting” to anti-war protest web sites based in Russia or Belarus.
The registrar said in a statement today that the move is in response to imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s call for war protests in Russia.
The offer modifies the company’s hard-line position from earlier in the week, in which it banned Russians altogether from its services and gave registrants there a week to get out.
Namecheap’s English-language customer service is based in Ukraine, including in cities under heavy bombardment this week.
Russians interested in the free hosting offer are asked to contact customer service for details.
