.versicherung Domain: A Verified Insurance Namespace
The .versicherung extension entered the root zone on 15 May 2014; its ICANN agreement is dated 20 March 2014 and the registry operator is tldbox GmbH, based in Salzburg. The word means insurance in German, and the community section of the agreement reserves the zone for the insurance industry. Measured on 14 August 2026 the zone held 1,413 registrations.
This is one of the strictest eligibility regimes in our catalogue: eligibility depends not only on four countries but on the holder being verified against public registers, and the way the name is used is checked as well. An applicant based in Türkiye does not meet those conditions and cannot in practice register the extension. For an insurance project, weigh up the alternatives on the domain search page.
Who may register: members of the insurance industry based in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland — public bodies regulating insurance, authorised insurers, reinsurers, social insurers, licensed agents and intermediaries, and associations, educational institutions and industry service providers entered in an official register. Content and use: the name may be used only for purposes dedicated to insurance topics, and must actually be put into use within six months of registration. Continuity: validation is repeated at registration, on a change of holder and at least once a year even if nothing in the data changed; a name goes live only if the first validation succeeds.

.versicherung Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .versicherung domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .versicherung address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .versicherung domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $35.80 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .versicherung returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .versicherung Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
It cannot. The community section of the agreement limits eligible registrants to members of the insurance industry based in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, and the condition is applied by verification against public registers rather than by declaration. So even where an order can be placed, the name will not go live at the validation stage. The position changes if you hold an authorised entity in one of those countries; otherwise you need a name from an unrestricted zone, and you can try candidates together with bulk domain name search.
-
The registry checks whether the holder belongs to the insurance community by consulting the public registers kept for insurance intermediaries. Validation is triggered at three moments: on a new registration, on a change to the holder's data, and routinely at least once a year. A name does not become active until the first validation succeeds, so an approval step sits between registration and publication. If a later validation fails, the routes of appeal are the ERDRP and the national courts.
-
The agreement carries an unusual condition here: the name must actually be put into use within six months of registration. Use is defined by two tests: the name must be delegated to at least two authoritative name servers in the parent zone, and it must serve a website that is predominantly about insurance topics. Forwarding is allowed, but the destination site has to meet the same content condition; using the name only for email is also accepted.
-
No, and the content condition is written into the agreement itself: the name may be used only for purposes dedicated to insurance topics. That does not mean a corporate site can carry no section outside insurance, but the weight of the site has to sit on insurance subjects. Enforcement is carried out by the registry's own legal team, and the condition holds not just at registration but throughout the life of the name.
-
Zones without an eligibility condition are the practical answer: a name carrying the sector term in the root does the same work alongside a generic extension and waits for no validation. When choosing such an address, watch two points. An intermediary licence arises from the activity and is unaffected by the domain; and because you collect customer data, a certificate is mandatory.
