In todays market of phone companies and cable TV providers acting as ISP's the chance of then changing your assigned dynamic IP address is very low. I have had the same dynamic IP address from my TV cable ISP for 10+ years. To reduce the risk to zero you can have your fqdn registered with one of the many "dynamic DNS" service providers. You then run a daemon on your host that watches your IP address and if it changes automatically sends a update to your "dynamic DNS" service provider changing your fqdn to point to the new IP address. Down time is less than 5 minutes. But your missing the big picture problem. Normally ISP's sell 2 account types, home users who get a single dynamic IP address with some max bandwidth per month and the business account who gets a group of static ip addresses and have bandwidth usage groups that cost more per month as bandwidth usage increases as more hosting customers are added. As I read this thread I see you are thinking about running a home based hosting service. A very small scale environment would work but if your bandwidth exceeds the max for a home user account your ISP may stop serving your account until the next month. Or even worse they may determine that you are abusing your home account contract and terminate your service all together. This will really put a negative turn on your home hosting service and paying customers will leave you asap. There are other considerations for a 24/7 service, like UPS and or a gas powered electric generator redundancy of computers and network controllers solid state hard drives and the list goes on. If your intention is something to play with at home so you can learn about how things go together, then no problem. If this is a prelude to a for profit hosting service then you better have very deep pockets because this is going to cost a lot of up front money to do it right. Maybe you should check into the affiliate program of many existing hosting companies. For a price you get a branded hosting front end that looks & feel like a real hosting service, but in reality your just selling services for the downstream provider. Good luck.
