As far as I know the first production URL for Harvard Dataverse was http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu though it was called IQSS Dataverse Network back then. The earliest snapshot the Wayback Machine has for this site is from from Sep 2008: https://web.archive.org/web/20080908065030/http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn

In March 2013 we switched from http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu to http://thedata.harvard.edu but this was still the DVN 3.x software.

In October 2014 we registered https://dataverse.harvard.edu but we didn't launch the site until April 2015: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/J1djJwY_7bc/m/-W7ein6JYHEJ

Given all this, I think Harvard Dataverse should get credit for hosting the service since 2008.

This lines up well with the release of DVN 1.0, which was 2008-01-04 according to https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvn/files/dvn/

(DVN or Dataverse Network was what we called Dataverse before 4.0.)
