DO NOT USE NITRADO!
I had a server through them nearly a month and never had ANY issues. Today i go to log on and my saved server was wiped. I tried to do a roll back. Server was completely rolled back a full day! after we defeated 2 titans which took a very long time to build up and the fights themselves lasted at least 2 hours each. ( First time fighting the titans ) I tried to roll back the save and NOTHING it WAS ALL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GONE. everything was lost prior to the fight.

If anyone else has recommendations on servers to rent please let me know cause ill never use nitrado again. It was just my buddy and I PVE

You dont keep your own backups?.... *facepalm* .... do you pay for offsite backups at Nitrado?.... if not... there is no fullproof network... fool me once, shame on you etc.

Keep your own backups.

Nitrado are indeed quite bad. Ages ago when I had server with them, WC rolled out a patch and my server would not start. So I wrote to support, and couple days later had no reply. Even simple acknowledgement would have done. So I taught myself how to host my own server instead and wrote them that I had enough. Again, few days later they replied saying that because I ordered for a year, and now that I am leaving, rest of my money they gonna refund me as Nitrado credits. LOL.

Very nice, supportive people indeed. Competent, too.

I used them for Conan Exiles, server ran fantastically, was pretty cheap overall, and overall was a pleasant experience.

However, like some above said, you have to be willing to do some of your own work. Backups are common sense, you're the idiot if you didnt and lost stuff. Be happy they at least had something!

You don't need to tell every thread about your website, which you don't use, since you don't have the game.
You necroed 2 threads already which were over 3 years old.

No, sorry, I'm not a bot. This is the account utilized to handle business affairs; I personally play on a different one.

Thanks for the questions though!

I'm sure Steam appreciates your shameless commercial self-advertising campaign in Game Forums while preventing to pay them for Ad space. And as a player i appreciated it even more that you do so, at least now i know which sh***y Service I'll never use to host anything.

Agreed, it's RULE NUMBER 1 when renting your own server.

You've just learnt it the hard way and i'm sorry for your loss but now you know.

Nitrado are over priced just host it on hetzer dedicated server and link it to gameserverapp would cost no more then 50 pounds for like 8 server with 100 pop each.

Well, if you'll respond, then I'll explain. This being a thread where someone is complaining about a server host, you talking about an alternative host (you) isn't really a big problem because op is looking for others.
But check the thread date before you post somewhere. You responded to one post that was months old, one post over a year old, and 2 posts over 3 years old. No one wants to be notified about a thread they posted in 3 years ago just to see an advertisement.
