I legitimately don't understand what argument you are even trying to make here.
A private corporation is able to choose who to do business with, for any reason they want. They are not beholden to anyone but themselves and their shareholders.
Namecheap has a sizeable Ukranian workforce, they have elected to put them above their Russian customers. As should be, honestly, obvious, to everyone reading here.
Nobody is claiming this will overthrow the government but you.

Regardless of their motivations they are also beholden to the law. I don't have a lot of experience in this area but I would hope they would be in breach of contract for suspending legal/paying customers without notice.
Namecheap probably have a generic clause in their TOS that theoretically covers situations like this but these are not always enforceable.
Seems pretty clear to me. Not sure how exactly you could find this unenforceable; it's pretty much boilerplate:
> Namecheap expressly reserves the right to deny, cancel, terminate, suspend, lock, or modify access to (or control of) any account or any Services (including the right to cancel or transfer any domain name registration) for any reason (as determined by Namecheap in its sole and absolute discretion)
> In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. We will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, our original objectives and intent as reflected in the original provision.
Where in this comment thread you replied to is someone but you claiming it will overthrow the government?
Hell, the original comment even says
> Free speech is one thing but this decision is more about a government that is committing war crimes against innocent people that we want nothing to do with.
He has made it more than clear this is a moral issue and they do not support what the Russian government has done. That is not in any way shape or form implying they are trying to overthrow the government.
> Can't help you out here especially since you went on a tangent with your other points.
Yeah, that's because your original comment is so incoherent it took me that long to even realize what point you were grasping desperately to.
Russia is engaged in an illegal war of aggression. There will be consequences for this. If the people of Russia are suffering they need to put that pressure on their government from inside.

Additionally, covering unenforceability specifically:
> In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole. We will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, our original objectives and intent as reflected in the original provision.

Someone is going to suffer, should it be:
(A) A Russian tax payer, or,
(B) A Ukrainian bomb recipient?
It's not fair, but if your country does evil -- you are not entirely innocent.
Hmm, maybe I'm wrong... You probably are innocent.
It's just you end up as collateral damage.
