On 7 February 2005, The Vault wiki was set up by Ausir (User:Ausir) and DarkUnderlord (User:DarkUnderlord), and was originally hosted by Duck and Cover, a Fallout fansite at the address wiki.DuckandCover.cx, then vault.DuckandCover.cx. Later, it was moved to a different server, but was still hosted by Taluntain, the host of Duck and Cover, at FalloutVault.com.
 * ''History

In 2007, because the original host could no longer take the wiki constantly being targeted for various exploits by spammers as well as other attackers, The Vault moved to Wikia, where it was independent from any other  website. Since the release of Fallout 3 in 2008, it became one of the most popular Wikia gaming wikis.

In November 2011, The Vault was to FalloutWiki.com, hosted by Curse, Inc., and in May 2013 became part of the newly created the  wiki farm. This move away from Wikia was as a result of strong disagreements with Wikia's tact regarding changes that affected Wikia wiki sites globally. This, on-top of the wiki sites founder getting a better paid job at Curse after leaving the Wikia staff, Ausir and many of his fellow Administrators were motivated to move to Curse. Wikia maintained much of the original content at the old location as per their long-standing policy of allowing the remaining communities to continue their efforts without being forced to move. Because The Vault and its logo technically belonged to Ausir since the days of being hosted by Duck and Cover, their rights were ultimately respected, and Wikia's version of the Fallout wiki was soon renamed Nukapedia.

Following the purchase of the entire Gamepedia.com wiki farm by Wikia, Inc. in December 2018, The Vault - Fallout Wiki (along with all other Gamepedia.com-hosted wiki sites) were subsumed into the Wikia 'Fandom' brand (and their URLs changed to *.Fandom.com). Its former Fallout.Gamepedia.com</tt> URL now auto-redirects to the Nukapedia site at Fandom.
