    I use Hostgator ( be nice) and get attacked daily with 17,000 clicks in rapid succession each day.

    A new URL is used each day to send 6 clicks per second to a page on one of my sites.

    So if one deos tha math ist a good hour long attack.

    Does this stop my site from being accessed and used?

    I have changed the name of the page and even which directory it's in , to no avail.

    Contacting security at HostGator has not helped.

    Is there a script I can load on my site to limit clicks?

    Be great to limit clicks from a URL to 4 per minute.

    It's not my server I am merely a customer.

    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
