That's precisely what you said:

"You thought a large server would be enough to handle a single wordpress blog..."

> when you are swamped with so many things you don't want to spend too much time on things like maintaining your blog.

A competent developer should be able to set up a load balanced WordPress blog (with Nginx/PHP-FPM, Varnish and a separate database server) in a day or less. There are a number of well-written tutorials on this.
