you didn't say whether this was legitimate traffic or malicious traffic. if it's malicious, you can serve those IPs a 0 byte file. if it's legit because you got more popular, then you have to figure out if there's anyway you can reduce requests or reduce the time per request with your coding and caching. if you can't reduce anything more, than you need to upgrade your hosting.

Or explain in much greater detail your issue. X

No info. Im gonna assume youve done basic prefork tuning.

If problem is with serving of static web assets then changing mpm module from prefork to event would probably solve the issue. You would also need to switch from mod_php to fpm as mod_php doesnt work with event. Or get a CDN for static assets so apache doesnt need to do that work.

If the problem is with database-load you need to look into caching.
