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.
