Love the old internet feel to the site.
You can see it's been basically unchanged for 25 years! Here's the 2001 snapshot from the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20010202180000/https://britneysp...
Just keeping any site functional and up for so long is impressive by itself.
It's only impressive if you've become accustomed to the unfortunate trend of forced obsolescence and the desire of many to justify useless recurring "maintenance" busywork. Basic HTML and CSS will always work.
Maintaining a working server over that time is the challenge.
What makes you think the owner of this site maintain a server?
A quick look at the ip show that it is owned by hostgator.com, a web hosting company.
The key here is renting the domain indefinitely and moving to a new web hosting company if one goes bust.
