I would think for most Small to Medium sized business
running a service every 15 minutes to an hour to
update zoneedit.com or another dynamic dns would be
sufficient. I haven't taken notice to how often my ip
lease expires with cable or dsl, it might be once a
month at the most.
In regards to support, there are, for the time being
anyway, only the people who frequent this list. And
almost all of them are finding it more profitable,
again for the time being, to be developing as opposed
to maintaining. So, an SLA doesn't seem to hold too
much value.
There are a number of monitoring tools available
(especially for Linux distros) that can notify you by
any number of ways when something seems a bit off.
Thanks for the reply, keep 'em coming.

Many broadband users will have trouble getting a truly
Static IP,
although it doesn't sound like this will be an issue
for you.
It probably would pay to try to host the box yourself
for a while,
especially while you are getting everything started.
You can always move
at some point in the future after it is setup and
running smoothly.
