You contact $WeHostWebsites a company that do what the name imply, they have no datacenter, instead they are 10 people offering the service, some ready-made static website generators with a portfolio of themes, option for ecommerce etc, hosting their infra in their own homes. You pay them few $currency per year and you have your hosted website. At a certain point they need more iron but not much more people the owners buy a shed aside his/her own home and add the need iron, another own do the same...
A day their business goes bad, they still own the iron, they can sell if as a service for others who need computing power for a short period of time or they can reinvent themselves in something else because they still have something tangible behind them, not a rent of someone else resources. That's the model.
