Where to report DoS attack ?

Hello to everybody, I'm hosting my website on a shared hosting, and recently the ip 87.255.1.42 began sending DoS attacks to my website - there are constantly being sent queries to the starting page of my website, more than 400,000 queries/day.
It's not doing any significant damage but overloads the server every day, and I would like to know how to report this attack to any authority who can stop the attack.
I queried the RIPE database
db.ripe.net/whois?form_type=simple

Your host would have to run that last part as it requires root access to the server and you mentioned you're on a shared host.
