Is the blog run from the raw IP address? I wrote an article about why you should proxy a blog through a CDN: http://blog.higg.im/2015/02/10/why-i-run-this-blog-on-maxcdn...

I since moved away from roll-you-own WP solutions as it's a devops nightmare, and tricky to get right, unless you pay someone to do it for you.

You should probably try to get your domain off the apex too:

It's a misnomer, but is someone's attempt to define any tech company which is so far apart from the rest of the pack in terms of business practices and reach that they don't warrant being called 'yet another tech company'.

This usually involves under handedness, tax loopholes, and secret handshakes that 'normal' startups are too scared to execute on. 'Normal' startups have a market safety net to fall back on and can pivit anytime they want without much fanfare caused. Unicorns are not afforded this luxury because they are, well, unicorns.
