Wetpaint launched its private beta program in March {{tag|FoundedIn2006|2006}}, and became publicly accessible in June 2006.  Wetpaint was named Best Wiki (Hosted) by the SEOmoz [http://web2.0awards.org Web 2.0 Awards].

Sometime during July [[:Category:FoundedIn2013|2013]], the entire collection of Wetpaint wikis were sold to a new company – {{tag|WikiFoundry|WikiFoundry, Inc.}}.  Transition to this new company was scheduled for approximately one week, and all existing Wetpaint wikis would be transferred to the new <tt>WikiFoundry.com</tt> domain, continuing as a subdomain in the same format as Wetpaint – ie; <tt>wikiCancer.Wetpaint.com</tt> moved to <tt>wikiCancer.WikiFoundry.com</tt>.  Wetpaint hosted wiki redirects to WikiFoundry.com for a year.  From late [[:Category:FoundedIn2014|2014]], the Wetpaint wiki site, along with all wikis remaining on the Wetpaint.com domain were taken offline for good.
