DDOSing is absolutely so rampant that you need to be behind something.
Hetzner has the WEAKEST DDoS protection out of ANYTHING out there - Arbor sucks.
Send me your website url and I'll keep it down for DAYS and whenever you cry to hetzner I'll just fry it again, it's that easy and that's why they're the cheapest - because everyone ran away from them back then.
And yet my website is still up today, and has not been down for years.
