Automated brute force attacks are nothing new, why do they bother you? Put the site behind Cloudflare, add some extra layer of security to your WP install and if you're using the host in your sig, that cardboard cutout toy host then go somewhere better that may have some control over their servers.

1. Run up to date software on your host.
2. Use strong passwords.
3. Explore adding extra security to your CMS/Script installation.
4. Use Cloudflare, it will make your site faster and help secure it.
5. Don't use dubious pretend hosts (often their clients are better targets for automated attacks).

Probably a good time to learn about how the Internet works while you're at it.
