About big space is another myth that big companies created. For those who really doesn't know the cost of 1GB on the market can just simply do math and see that you can buy 1GB for as low as $0.45. So a company with plan from $50 a year can easily make money offering gigabytes of space.
However, you're making a few mistakes here...
1) A cheap company isn't necessarily a small company... we're only talking about the cost of the service, not the size of the company.
2) Disk space isn't the only thing that costs to run a web hosting business... you also have to factor in server management costs, software licenses, not to mention staff wages. Also, for the most basic of servers, lets use a Celeron 2.4GHz with an 80GB Hard Drive... that would cost lets say for arguments sake $80/month. Now, i'd like to know where you got the 45c from? A reseller account... possibly, but most likely because the main host is overselling to begin with.

Ok, enough of my rant for now :P
