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.
