I assumed by now the freehost would be a thing of the past with hosting and domain names being so cheap these days.

The question I'd like to raise is,

How does a free host make money?

Assuming it is a host that is not popup/ad/banner/adwords supported.. one offering a "totally free" service?

Surely they are not run at a loss?
