A bit of a headache

So I've got a cPanel server with @Kenshin to host some services such as DNS. Among this, I also provide a bit of hosting to a few friends. The problem comes in when I get informed there was a DDoS on the VPS - it's hard to tell where it's coming from, and I highly doubt (D)Dos Deflate will help much. Hoping someone would be able to help out and give suggestions since it's a port 80 attack.
Thanks.

If the attack is over 100mbit or whatever your bw is then you are SOL unless you get the IP and ask the DC to BGP block them.
@Jack: It's with @Kenshin at OneAsiaHost...
may I recommend Cloudflare?
how's that? Cloudflare would just stop the attacker from being able to find his site's IP, assuming he doesn't leave any records with it exposed.
well apparently the attacker already has the IP in question?
yeah Cloudflare seems like the answer here
make sure to apply the mods/patches to whatever webserver you're running so you get the real visitor's IP & not cloudflare's
Huh? I'm not experienced with cPanel but are you saying he only uses cPanel to manage his DNS?
Oh, I got the impression he was also hosting the websites on the VM.
EDIT:
if he is doing DNS-only hosting on that VM then you're right, he wouldn't even need the VM then
Nope, its a full install of cPanel since I needed services as well.
I'd recommend using Cloudflare as DNS then
