Yeah, there's plenty of sneaky ways to host for dirt cheap. OVH, DigitalOcean and CloudFlare have really worked wonders for me. The hosting isn't usually the expense here though - it's reporters, photographers, etc. How do you pay that many people's salaries? Answer is probably that you don't - these companies will probably fail and other companies that can get away with cheap hosting and staffing will hack together comparable things using amateurish content. I'm fine with it. I just want them to die already so that alternatives will spring up more readily.
