Dropping in at this discussion so might have missed some vital info.
How on earth could you be seen as troublemaker while you are trying to
solve a problem, that might become a potential problem for your hosting
provider as well. I would contact the hosting company and explain them
the problem, if they are reluctaned to help you out, its time to switch
provider.
I wish you all the luck in solving this annoying problem!

my host doesn't provide it either, but I know some hosts that do on
special request, & I've been considering them for sometime now, not for
SSH access ofcourse as its all greek to me!! ;)
Getting back on topic, the scale of the attacks is beginning to become
scary,
not just worrying. As I said at the start, it continues to grow by the day
(nearing 2 weeks now) and it's reaching the point where I get tens of
thousands
of page requests from a variety of UIP's. This still gets worse by the
hour and
I am running out of bandwidth (although I re-directed to reduce it), not to
mention the speed penalty that the shared server is susceptible to.
These attacks can wind up costing hundreds of pounds, not to mention the
time I
spend/t trying to stop them. I have no root access to the Web server. Any
suggestions? I would rather not tell the hosts and ignite some sort of
reputation of a trouble-maker.
Cheers,
Roy
