And that's why no one can offer this sustainably for $2/month. There is a cost of policing for illegal stuff as well as outright terrible stuff that requires fair bit of effort.

You can even get full 'root' on a virtual machine for that price, and plenty of webhosting options.

For many years now I've been hosting my IRC bouncer on a $13/yr VPS at netcup and it has been more stable than some of my other VPSes.

Granted, the market for shared hosting has settled closer to $6, but OVH, Hetzner and Netcup all still offer shared hosting for $2/month, with a free domain on top. And all three are in this market for ages now. They limit you to static pages, PHP and a MySQL database, but you can do plenty of illegal stuff with that.

Wait till they get popular, and then they will abandon this.

I'm not sure about netcup, but Hetzner and OVH are very large, very popular hosting providers that have been in this game for decades.
