What Is the History of .insurance?
The .insurance domain was delegated to fTLD Registry Services LLC on December 3, 2015, after a competitive application process under ICANN’s new gTLD program. The domain was originally proposed by a coalition of the American Bankers Association and BITS (Banking Industry Technology Standards) to create a secure, trusted namespace for insurance industry entities. Multiple applicants competed for the string, but only fTLD met the community-based eligibility criteria. The American Insurance Association initially filed a community objection, later withdrawn. Donuts and Radix were also applicants but were ultimately excluded due to objections or GAC warnings.
