If you trust me, PM me your ssh details, and I'll set it all up.(then I'll tell you what I did)
If not,

Download ddosdeflate, turn off emailing on mysql error, iptables the attackers, etc etc..

Thanks, loaep

Hmm, how about he fixes the problem of why vbulletin is sending out MySQL errors ? That seems like a better suggestion to me.

Close down services such as FTP/SSH and only allow them for your own IP(s). You can also try and disable DNS lookups for them, but i suspect that closing down the hammered services will be enough.

I'm available for help if you need it.
