> Companies will very successfully have their contracts enforced

Hetzner turned off all access to my paid server due to a false-positive on their netscan/DDOS (literally it was tailscaled doing a netcheck) protection and equally incompetent technical support staff.

Can I sue them for breach of contract and subsequent damages? I moved all my hosting off Hetzner as a result, but I'm still very disappointed in their actions.

While I didn't read the contract, I'm halfway sure that it says that they can terminate the contract for any reason.
They didn't terminate my contract though, they just nullrouted my server. They even had the audacity at the end of the month to send me a bill.
Ah, that's shitty. I guess in theory you could demand a refund or file a chargeback for an amount based on the services they didn't contractually provide. As you ceased doing business with them I don't think there would have been any drawback to this. IANAL
