Need Help - being DDoS'd?

[pringle28]

Help guys, i received this email from poweb administrators but I have no idea what i gotta do!
Here s what it says:
"Your site is being DDoS'd by an IP coming from xx.xxx.xxx.xx, which is harming our server. Therefore, we had to disable your HTTP services until you get this resolved or block that IP with a .htacess file.Please let us know when you have resolved this before we regain your services back online"

What do i do next???

Create a text file called htaccess.txt with the following line in it:

DenyFrom xx.xx.xx.xx

where, obviously, you put the actual IP there. Upload it to your htdocs folder and then rename to to be ".htaccess" (without the quotes). You need to do it this way, especially if you're using Windows, to get it there properly.

If you already have a .htaccess file, add this line to it.

Then notify PowWeb you have done so.
