    Question hetzner.de any dos/ddos/... protection? What they do if somebody attack my server?

    Today I ordered one server from hetzner.de and I want to move one website from softlayer server to this hetzner server because I have very high load on SL server and also I need EU and cheap but strong server for this wesbite...

    But, today somebody attacked this website (DDOS) all stop to work few minutes but softlayer protection auto detected this attack and auto added attacked IP to Cisco Guard and sent to me e-mail related to this problem, after few minutes all start to work normal...

    After this I start to think what will be in same case on hetzner server???!!!

    Somebody know? What they do in case of dos/ddos attack? Is there some protection like cisco guard? Somebody here on forum said that they simple null route ip in case of some attack, is this true???
    Because I have very busy website and always some stupid people that want website down, I need to know this....

    Thanks.

    Hetzner will simply nullroute an IP address if the attack is large enough to cause packet loss on your server by over capacity.

    So if you get a 800+mbit/s attack on a 1gbit/s server, they will probably nullroute the IP so as you can access your server via another IP to prevent total lack of connection.

    you can try using cloudflare to protect your website so that potential attackers wouldn't know your site's real ip
