I recognise that keeping a URL up requires a functioning dynamic DNS service
and client, but I am not quite clear why you say that you wouldn't entrust
anything important to it. I agree it would not be suitable for a site that
gets hundreds of hits per minute but it would be adequate for small
businesses with much lower volumes.
A fixed IP _is_ easier. I note that companies like GPM Internet
http://www.gpm.net.au/services.html are making their living in this area
while we wait for Telstra to get serious about it all.
