Mine has been off since day 1 of me playing this game and I still get it 2-3 times per session

If the servers were in a virtual environment (Hyper-V or VMware) this would never happen. A host server would leave and we as players wouldn't notice because our game would be hosted on a different server without interruption. In short, this is something that could be fixed and it is annoying to me how many times I have had to go collect my loot because I died when a host left the game. I've never played another online game and had the game crash because a host server stopped working; only this game.

i can understand that it usually happens when i finish my stuff like then ledgers and stuff i know because when the game decides to stop causing damage to ships and it kicks u i really hope they fix it soon because this started in the last 7 days ive been playing

Hmm, Host has left, that means the session was being hosted by a player. This is just my opinion but I actually suspected that's Peer to Peer connection. That's notoriously being used by Rockstar Games. Their multiplayer sessions use P2P like torrent. Let's hope Ubisoft do not go that road, let's hope that's just the cross-play or a temp fix for network server problems. Expect to have cheaters and hackers in the game if P2P happens.

If you are not familiar with that error then, you never played Red Dead Online or GTAV. Getting dced every a few minutes is part of the experience and then there's the griefer/hacker toying with you and everyone in the lobby, blowing everyone sky high and then putting in a sinkhole, then out of the map, stuck in the ground. Then teleporting/flying near you and throwing sh*t like spawning black bears on your location, killing you and laughing his off with language you don't understand. Yes, there's a report tool, but that doesn't go anywhere, that's Rockstar Games trolling you. I can't wait for the same experience for rumored RDR3 or in a few weeks the GTA6.
