Use the following script to get the apache connections from different IPs to the server and block IPs that make more number of connections.

Click on the server-status link in whm to get an idea about the number of access to each site.

Use the command "netstat -alpn | grep :80 | awk '{print $4}' |awk -F: '{print $(NF-1)}' |sort | uniq -c | sort -n" to see if you are under DOS/DDOS attack. Manually blocking the IPs is a tedious process. I would suggest you to install dos_evasive along with APF or iptables to automatically block the attacking IPs. There are other tweaks too.. PM me if you need more details.
