I do it for money
I like to provide options for people whom otherwise would have little options at all as far as having a blog to post on, or a community to express themselves in.
In addition, the hosting services I provide parallel to the next branch of service that I'm expanding my company to. It has helped to generate ideas of growth, and beyond that, I enjoy my involvement in the hosting industry and have enjoyed reading and learning for the past few years about it.
I wouldn't classify it as a hobby, because hobbies can be easily dropped and forgotten at a moment's notice. To me, I'd classify it as a source of business growth while providing a service that people desire and can grow with.

Well, in us, we don't really compete with other hosts.
Its just the fun of having a community and the people you meet, the joy of helping others start their own sites, and the experiences it gives. It might come in useful in the future, and we can generate money through ads, or other means. We also like to help out other hosts, like when one host goes down, we're open to help, or whatever.

There is usually less than 5% profit in free hosts. Ads aren't useful. Why? No content.

Maybe to get experience, I have been in almost two free hosting programs, giving it for free, no profit, But I had the need to catch some features or options for the server performance, something like a program of Beta Testers for New Technologies (hehe) so I think the people who got the accounts, deserve it
free users = fansite & community
customers = $$$
At least they can be word of mouth for attract customers & increase page rank passively.
While customers mostly buy but mostly not mess with forums.
So, more fansite>>more famous>>more customers. Everything was a chain.
Even I don't do hosting I still need lots of people for my forums rather than leave it deserted.
