I am not sure how much you are making each month but I fully believe in investing in infrastructure.
I do not think it is unreasonable to have hosting run 5-10% of net income for the month. It is well worth it to have a site that is always up with support that is on your side.
So, if you are making $400/month then $40/month for hosting would seem reasonable to me but if you are making $1000/month then I would budget in the $80-100 range and so forth. Now if that amount buys a whole lot more server than you actually need then you can tone it down some.
For example, one of my sites makes me a consistent $1500-2000/month. I have it on it's own server and I pay $80/month for that server. Since the hosting and the cost of the domain are virtually the only costs that the site has I feel it is quite reasonable. That $80/month plan gives me much more server than the site actually needs but better to be way over powered than way under powered.
just my opinion again of course.
