Right, there is no point in doing that. Usually such DDoS last a few 
hours max.

Not necessary in this case, just ask them when they remove the Null 
route and try if the relay is reachable again. If it happens frequently 
then you should revisit this problem.

For the next time you can try to setup SSH as a hidden service, then you 
can probably still connect to the relay by SSH via Tor, as they usually 
don't suspend the VPS but just don't route the incoming traffic. 
Outgoing traffic usually works, so the .onion SSH should work.
