What is your website?! is it just a content website or you have some sort of services serving your requests in backend. Application DDos attacked can hugely impact your website if they can put load on your backend and eventually trash your servers.
Some useful solutions for those scenarios:
-proper authentication/authorization mechanism
-keep stats per user or session and set quota on the number of requests per user or session
-add captcha to your registration pages to prevent them from scripting your signup.
