Or for crying out loud, shared hosting isn't expensive - you can get it
under $10.00 a month, and if this content is really worth anything to
the provider or its intended audience, why wouldn't you be willing to
pay?

Even dedicated machines can be had for under $100.00 a month now, and I
expect the $300 and up that a lot of places charge will come down
toward the double digits soon - hardware is so cheap that it's almost
insignificant unless you need incredible performance, which darn few of
us do.
