Two more firms have decided to can their dot-brand top level domain names. Both are in the insurance sector.

Insurance firm Esurance notified ICANN on January 9 that it no longer wants the .esurance domain name.

The firm didn’t use the domain name much. The only .esurance page indexed in Google (other than the obligatory nic.esurance) is homeowners.esurance. The domain name forwards to a page on esurance.com.

The other firm is reinsurance firm Scor and its .scor top level domain name. Nic.scor is the only .scor domain name indexed in Google.
