The web server isn't configured, but there is DNS and a server there.
I generally don't remove broken sites that still have DNS because of how many times I've seen broken sites come back.
That said, my notes show that hpfanficarchive.com has been broken since ~Sep 2020.

Yes, there was announcements.

I suppose since something went wrong with AO3's transfer it is possible it does come back up for a while.
As for being broken since Sep 2020 I think it was down for a while looking back through web archive and whoever brought it up here didn't mention it after? Was definitely still working as of early this month though.
