A. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance In the case of a potential Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a crucial first step. ISPs often have tools and measures in place to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks before the traffic reaches your network.

Why not "whitelisting"?

It's a webserver. Meaning it's designed to accept users from the entire WWW. Whitelisting requires you know what IP addresses should be accessing your server. You essentially want anyone to be able to access your webserver(website) hence you can't say only allow these 100 ip addresses. Blacklisting might be more acceptable here but still impractical
