Why does a certain hosting provider have such cheap VDS servers?

Question

Network administration

Hello.
There is such a company - SkyHost (in no case is it an advertisement, since I'm really very interested), and so, I've been taking VDS's from them for about 5 months. And all this time I am tormented by the question - why is it so cheap? VDS 1CPU 2GHz 512RAM 10GB SSD KVM costs 96 rubles per month. At other hosting providers, the same VDS's cost from 200 rubles. Why sell VDS servers so cheaply?

We use it, in general the servers work, but ... There is absolutely no technical support, the server may turn out to be inaccessible by itself, and you can’t reboot from your personal account, because pressing the restart button gives an error and that’s it, and the promised ipmi stupidly does not work. You can write a ticket, but it can hang for a week without any response, so just call and only during business hours. And yes, I almost forgot, packages are periodically lost, and not only to the paid server, but also to their personal account, which cannot be entered ... In general, something like that. I want to get away from them, no, even run away, but prices are much higher everywhere.
