Actually... for the price SQS is asking, you can get yourself a small VPS.
I'm starting to think in that direction now.
Is there such a thing as a nulled CPanel? If not, how do people offer it with shared hosting for such cheap prices?
No such thing as nulled cpanel, and if there was I would tell you to stay farrrr away from it.
It depends what you define as "cheap", 500GB Storage and Unlimited bandwidth for 2.00 is a ripoff.
But 1GB of space and 20GB of bw is fine for that price.

Many "good" hosts can offer cheap prices because they have been out in the hosting game for a long time, and have many customers to profit from that they can just offer cheap prices.
Many new hosts that you see everyday here on the forums just offer "cheap" prices because they have no clue about running a business. they see another company and want to beat their prices thinking they will make money fast. Unfortunately, many people fall for this and end up having really bad hosting.
Sure, the host can probably keep this up for awhile, 2, 3, maybe even 4 months or more, but after that they start to oversell their server (yes 1 server), and go out of business from bad marketing.
The reason SQS is "more expensive" (*note* the quotes, since it's really not expensive if you think about it) is because jay is starting off. He wants to make a little profit, while paying for the server and not overloading his servers like other starting hosts make the mistake of. He'd rather have his customers happy and his servers paid, than make that extra buck (if you get what I mean).

Always remember, do not go with any host who has been around for less than year. (Sorry -- but it's true).
And never go to someone because they are "cheap", go to someone who is reputable. I'm always willing to pay a little extra for good uptime and better support, than saving that extra dollar and having my site down every day.
