Hetzner Online now offers extensive DDoS protection

Just saw this when i logged in to my Hetzner Panel ......
DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attacks have unfortunately become part of everyday life in the IT sector. In a DDoS attack, thousands of fake requests are sent to servers in order to purposely flood their resources and overload the system. Large numbers of compromised computers are used to form a botnet. This botnet then creates a gigantic amount of data traffic, which results in very high loadtimes, or in the worst case scenario, a complete breakdown of the server.
Hetzner Online can protect your web applications, websites, servers, and IT infrastructure from this threat. Our automated system recognizes almost all attack patterns in advance, allowing it to block the attacks and effectively thwart the vast majority of them. Our system, which uses the latest hardware appliances and sophisticated perimeter security technologies, provides you with first-rate protection against large-scale DDoS attacks. And all that free of charge.
