Nitrado is in the Top 3 for worst possible hosts for this particular game.
G-Hub being number 1
Nitrado being number 2
Fragnet being number 3
Why Giants would back such a poor server provider/host is quite baffling. Sure, they are cheap. Their customer service is terrible.
Just sad to see such a great game promoting to players to have a server and then end up with a terrible experience.
Knowing that opinions will vary on this. We are talking about a "normal" low cost hosting of the game. There are several much better hosts, with up to date technology that are much more reliable and even have backup power for those outages.
Yes, I have ones that I would recommend, not doing that. Just pointing out the three NOT to use. Save yourself the grief and overall hassle.

Sources? Or is this just speculation?
Have been playing FS since FS 2011 came out and still going strong.

I’ve never had an issue with Nitrado running a server for Ark

Re: Giants is backing Nitrado as a host?
For Farm Sim Nitrado was awful for us. Poor performance, constant outages and the customer service support was non existent.
Quite a number of friends within the FS community have also reported similar experiences.
We moved to Verygames, and apart from the very odd outage (1 or 2 times a year) they have been brilliant, plus when a mixup happened because of running two servers and payment was made to just one instead of both customer service fixed the issue for us instantly.
If GIANTS want to promote a server company like that, I'll just ignore there suggestion and go with a decent one. After all the promotion is most likely because Nitrado have paid to get GIANTS to promote them.

G portal also does, that's who we had our Conan Exiles Server through and our Ark server was through Nitrado, no real complaints about either, had each around 6 months or so before moving to our own server.

Re: Giants is backing Nitrado as a host?
Friend had a nitrado server and it was laggy and was down often. I decided to get a server with verygames and i had very little lag and the website and panel i found was easier to use.
Hello! I'm a PC gamer now! Care to join my server for Realistic and Fun Farming simulator 19 multiplayer?

Re: Giants is backing Nitrado as a host?
If your talking of FS22 dedicated servers then no. Any dedicated server running on any host will allow a console player to connect. If that's running in a rented environment like Nitrado or any of the other game server providers, or a private hosted dedicated server. Giants partnership with Nitrado goes back to FS17 days so this is nothing new that they would give them top billing on any sort of MP related announcement.
Personally I use GameServers for all my FS server needs. I don't like VeryGames as it seems they auto update your servers when a new update comes out and I in working in the tech industry do not like anything updating on its own with out my directive. With GameServers if your on a laggy server you just put in an automated request to move servers in the same datacenter or to a different datacenter. Be sure you have your save game backed up and your mod folder and then when you get the email about the new server being provisioned login and upload your save game and mods and your back in business.
