Well you're behind CloudFlare.

Just change your IP address, and tell CloudFlare the new one.

Sure the DDOSers could find your new IP, but it's not like changing your public DNS, it would be difficult for them to find it.

I don't think your SSL certs would show the new IP on the website in the blogpost very quickly if you changed IP.

It's not so much about changing the IP address, but moving the targeted system out from behind the clogged tube. Changing IP address may or may not do that.
