Under attack!

My website is being hit every few seconds with page requests such as below. There is always a 404 followed by an http address. When I check out where this has some from I just get what looks like Chinese or Japanse. What can I do about this? I've put in a support ticket to the hosting company. Is that all I can do?

If you have access to .htaccess you can ban the requesting IP address in there.

This is a site hosted on GoDaddy using ASP.NET. I have located the IP address but am not sure how to ban it so I've submitted a ticket to GoDaddy and hope they can advise me appropriately.

given the .aspx filenames it would clearly be as IIS server as it is using asp.net

True. Wasn't yet fully awake. You could do this in ISAPI_Rewrite, but most hosts with IIS don't have that installed.

Ended up finding some code that enables IP address blocking within the app. Seems to work because I blocked myself by supplying my own IP address to it.
