I don't know if there is any shared host cheaper than that (I suppose there are but I'm too lazy to check right now), but sometimes the appeal in using a shared host is in some of their features which you don't get in a VPS (e.g.: cpanel).

Also be very careful, with "Dirty COW" hack, anyone can become root as long as they can run their own binary on any shared host.
