You didn't _have_ to colocate... you could get a shared server and pay a lot less, but give up root access. At the time though lots of sites were basically big CGI scripts and didn't really need their own server. Even these days you're still really talking $80-$100 a month for your own server, anything less and you're probably getting some kind of slice or VPS that you have to share with a bunch of other sites (as I was reminded this morning when Slicehost hard rebooted the machine my slice was on due to some other site misbehaving, taking down one of my sites temporarily.)
