And now their postmortem blog post is down with a 503 error. Doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence about their abilities.

Their handling of the issue on Twitter was enough for to decide to move my domain names away from them when their renewal is due.
Just a heads up, and forgive me if this is obvious, but you can move right away, the expire date will be the same anyway. You certainly don't want a failed migration too close to the expiration date.
yes, good point!
The last I looked at them for either hosting or domain, they had a provision in their TOS that basically said they could terminate my account at any time if I did anything they felt was morally wrong. I emailed them and asked if what I was reading was true and they confirmed it. I never looked at them again.

They probably thought their no-BS morally-right stance was supposed to comfort me, and it's not like I host anything that would likely meet that criteria. But who is to say a blog post has cursing in it that they decide, at their sole discretion, to be bad? Or speak up on abortion in a way they don't agree with? Or any of the other morally-charged topics out there? I'm not hosting with the thought police and it's always made me wonder how others felt comfortable with them.

Don't most modern service providers have a clause like that?

Any recommendations? Preferred within the EU.
