u running wordpress ?
wordpress is vulnerable and a simple script kiddie can be pain in the ass and eat up your server ressources, if u dont have basic protections like firewall, slowloris protection etc,
doesnt even have to be a ddos attack,
just dig into some good firewall settings, .htacces protection and go further from there
check your logs for malicious behaviour and post request and ban ips handish on cloudflare, that can help , is free and doesnt eat up to much time
big ddos attacks with thousands of ips do cost and eat up ressources, ask yourself why someone would invest time , money to attack just you, its maybe just a couple of script kiddies checking your machine for vulnerablity and some unexperienced webmaster might thing ouch this is a huge ddos attack
you dont need an atomic bomb to kill some insects
