    Overview

    .versicherung is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) whose name is the German word for insurance. It was created to serve the insurance industry and related communities in German-speaking countries, providing concise, industry-specific domain names.

    History

    • Delegated to the DNS root zone on 22 May 2014.
    • Registry Agreement for the string was signed on 20 March 2014 by dotversicherung-registry GmbH.
    • On 11 January 2017 ICANN approved a takeover; tldbox GmbH became the official registry operator.
    • Managed by tldbox GmbH, a sister company of the Austrian registry nic.at. Key people involved in the initiative include Matthias Pfeifer and Axel Schwiersch; Richard Wein is listed as Managing Director.

    Usage and Audience

    • Intended audience: the insurance community in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
    • Typical users: registered insurance companies, insurance agents and intermediaries, reinsurers, social insurers, governmental organizations regulating insurance, registered associations and educational institutions of the insurance industry.
    • Purpose: to provide memorable, community-specific domain names that help consumers find insurance information and strengthen identity and trust among industry members.

    Registration Rules

    • Registration is restricted to eligible members of the insurance community.
    • Eligible registrants must be based in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.
    • Eligible entity types include:
      • Governmental organizations regulating the insurance industry
      • Primary insurers, reinsurers and social insurers with authorization under the legal framework in the respective countries
      • Insurance agents and intermediaries with authorization under the legal framework in the respective countries
      • Registered associations and educational institutions of the insurance industry listed in an official public register
    • Eligibility is validated by checking official and public registers of insurance intermediaries and other relevant registers.

    SEO and Brand Impact

    • The TLD was positioned to improve quality, reliability and consumer trust in online insurance information by offering clear, industry-specific addresses.
    • The registry states the TLD strengthens identification among community members and facilitates intuitive discovery of insurance services.
    • The TLD is not classified as a financial TLD by the HSTLD group because it is not intended primarily for financial transactions by recognized financial institutions.

    Notable Cases or Examples

    • dotversicherung-registry GmbH received an award from the initiative medium-sized businesses in March 2012 for innovation and value for medium-sized businesses in Germany; patrons included IBM and the German Federal Commissioner for Information Technology (BSI).
    • Key milestones: registry agreement signed (20 March 2014), delegation to the root zone (22 May 2014), and registry transition to tldbox GmbH (approved 11 January 2017).
