That's a pretty hefty hosting cost compared to revenue. Do you have a lot of non-paying users?

All of them actually plus the Application has some design flaws which eat up RAM like butter.

I also have to add that hosting costs me about 50€ right now, the same box which also hosts all my other services. My point is that i thought about it and got a rather cheap dedicated box, build up my own "hosting structure" on it, including load balancing and use Cloudflare which helps a lot when you have massive traffic. I could also use AWS for about $200, but when i would just purchase each service individually on AWS it would get very expensive fast.
