Because there's supposed to be a space there. You can be forgiven perhaps if the things you're concatenating are not words, like ServInt does where Serv Int would look weird, but when you just take words and mash them together, that's not suddenly a brand: that's a typo.
I guess the problem is that it just gets dreary. Just to confine myself to web hosts: DreamHost. HostGator. HostMonster. HostOrca. KnownHost. StartLogic. TotalChoice.
Go on, try to say NearlyFreeHosting in one breath, no pauses. That's the name of that company. Someone actually named their company "neerlafrihostin."
You don't have to go as far as A Small Orange does, where you choose a branding that makes me think of a webcomic. You could just be like Liquid Web and Media Temple -- give me your name with those spaces intact. CamelCase is for programming languages and the occasional wiki -- and it's still ugly in those places too; I just don't see great alternatives there.
