That seems rather expensive, no wonder you need ads or payments. Are you renting a full/dedicated server? It might be worth to switch to a VPS/virtual server, because I'm not sure you will be able to cover that cost even with the new ads.
For HarvestMap I also provide a program and server to upload and download data, similar to TTC. In my case, a simple VPS that costs just 1EUR/month is enough.
I assume the additional TTC web interface requires a bit more power, but I don't think it would be much more expensive.
I rent my VPS for HarvestMap from IONOS.

yeah this ^
sounds like there arnt many people using the site = no ad revenue, so why are the server costs so high? bots scraping the site for low prices?
sounds like it would be more cost effective to make scraping the site useless, rather than forcing ads
