Why would you suggest this, when it has nothing to do with the issue at hand, and costs money? That is not what the OP wanted.

TBH, it's a valid option. They switch sharing save files back and forth so that someone else can host while someone is offline, and a hosted dedicated server would certainly solve the issue of save files getting lost in all that mess.

No, it is not a valid option. Not everyone wants to rent a server. A local dedicated server would be more valid in this case. It is frustrating how many people in so many threads recommend everything under the sun as a solution, except that which solves the problem.
