I have websites hosted for much cheaper than this. Can't you find it cheaper?
I also have website hosted for much cheaper than this. But they do not have the same requirements. LDSConventions in particular requires a large amount of disk space and memory. The configuration, site and security requirements also make them unsuitable for shared hosting. VPS is the next step up and is the most suitable for these sites.
In addition, there is also server management and maintenance to factor in. While I've love to cut that cost and rely only on myself, the reality is that these sites now have accounts from all over the world, making reliability a huge requirement.
