I'd avoid Hetzner. A competitor/malicious user can take down your site by DDoS'ing it for a short time.

And this is not true of the others? I've not seen guarantees against that in any of the other vendors...

Hetzner have a policy of null rooting IP and not responding to reinstatement requests resulting in significant downtime.

OVH are similarly priced yet have good DDoS protection for free.
