The only way to stop a DDoS is for the person who is attacking you to stop, or by removing them. You can also get DDoS Protection which is just more bandwidth, so that your server doesn't lag/lag as much. There is no such thing as "Anti-DDoS". Just wait it out, and inform your host that you're being DDoSed. They'll probably switch your server IP.
Just let the host know - switching IP is not a valid way to stop it cause whoever is doing it will just follow the IP# change and a IP# change for a game server just means death - established traffic on a IP# is like gold in the pocket, change IPs and you may as well break you're own arm.

The host needs to know and they can track the issue and if they can find the person they can press charges.
