Which is where a lot of the extra cost comes from.
Serving many very small customers like that is a thankless low-profit task. Some of your costs of doing business won't scale down perfectly beyond a certain point so you won't make nearly as much from 1000 2$ customers as you will 100 $20 ones. The same for numerous technical matters. And that is before you think about SLAs and support - you might have realistic views on what to expect for $2 but having worked at the cheap end of web hosting I can assure you that a great many will not, especially at times when things don't go 100% right.
