The database was started in Februari 2009 by [[User:Gijs|Gijs]], as a place to collect liveries. At that time there was no standard in how to name liveries, not much support in how to create liveries and no place to submit liveries and share them with other users. The initial database was hosted on a free domain, which had its obvious disadvantages. In December 2009, a paid domain was offered by [http://atiak.com Airborne Technologies]. This brought a whole lot of new possibilities, including a MySql and PHP driven database. Nowadays those are the languages used to run the database.

Over the past years, the database has been extended with many functions. Including personal pages - listing an author's liveries, thumbnails, and more recently an option to control various layout aspects has been added.
