Website Protection

I need some kind of script that will stop a user submitting requests to my website for a certain amount of time if they try to submit more than 5 requests every 10 seconds, people have been abusing my website and it was taken off the server because it was creating too much load, the only way to get it back on is to protect it to stop these people making so many requests.

What about javascript to get their IP, and if more than 5 hits are made from that IP in 10 seconds then block them from submitting another request by redirecting them
