I am working on updating an old php website hosted on Dreamhost and there is a random, unknown file in the project with a .html extension: ajcyss2bv1f18lmrh84tcwhdxx0b8r.html. The only thing inside is ajcyss2bv1f18lmrh84tcwhdxx0b8r.

Does anyone know what this is or where it came from? Thank you.

It is used to prove ownership of the website or domain for software such as Google Search Console or other services. They would be asking you to create this file at your web root when setting up.
