Just out of curiosity, how are you screwed? Is it so hard to move to a different registrar? It's not like you are being kicked out from a cloud provider, which would indeed be a pain in the ass.

If you just had most if not all international payment methods stop, your only option now is to transfer your domains to a russian state owned or controlled entity which should be obvious why it could be problematic.

Commenter said they are fleeing Russia, should have more options available outside the country, no?

If they’re fleeing they’re not yet out, and foreign payments have been stopped.

Wow. Shameful.

People don't get to choose where they are born and describing other people and another society in such a way despite their current government is quite pathetic.

I hope others see your xenophobia and learn to treat others more respectfully.

Normally, if you pay for a service for a year and then it ends after a couple months by surprise, you could describe that as being screwed.

All websites will resolve to 403 Forbidden, however, you can contact us to assist you with your transfer to another provider.

Looks like a bunch of people were kicked from Namecheap's cloud services with 0 notice though. Or do you mean that these services are relatively simple, and it would be a pain to migrate from a service provider who provides much more complex services with 0 notice?
