DynDns for small business
I'm working with a very small company looking to cut costs anywhere they can.
They're looking to switch to Verizon FIOS from a T1 for the speeds and cheaper prices. They serve a small user base a website from an internal server. Currently the users access the site via the IP address. Anyway, can they go with a dynamic IP when they sign up for FIOS? They're using a router that can update automatically to DynDns. I'd assume that going forward,

Yep, Drebo is correct. There's a reason business services cost more than residential. Residential can tolerate downtime more. Just because the company is looking to save money, don't go cheap in areas that need business solutions (aka, static IP address for a customer website) Going to FIOS (as long as it's a business connection) isn't a bad idea but don't skimp on the static IP if they have a customer website that people need to get to. Definitely get a static IP and associate a website with that, and give that to the customers.

You also need to know if the Verizon FIOS blocks inbound TCP Port 80. A quick search indicates that it does, at least for non business accounts. But I've never seen a non static IP business account.
Although the official Terms of Service (TOS) do not specify any exact blocked ports, the language does suggest that,
contadorapanama.com/libraries/jerseys/nfl/Matt+Asiata.html, at a minimum, incoming port 80 and outgoing port 25 may in fact be blocked. Section 4.3 of the TOS lays out restrictions on use, stating that the customer may not host any type of server, resell the connection, "exceed the bandwidth usage limitations that Verizon may establish from time to time," or use the connection for "high volume purposes." (What constitutes "high volume" is not defined.) Attachment B Section 2.2, titled "Email Security",
contadorapanama.com/libraries/jerseys/nfl/Bruce+Gradkowski.html, states that Verizon reserves the right to block "selected ports".[5]
Business FiOS service is available in some areas, with higher upload speeds, static IP addresses and no blocked ports (for the static IP option)."
Based upon this, I'd guess that any Verizon FIOS account with non static IP is likely to have some ports blocked.
Web hosting is easy to find, yes. However, the webpage users go to may be a front end for an application that runs on an internal business server. If that's the case, then a third party host isn't going to be an option.
Overall, you need a static IP. Switching to FIOS or DSL from a T1 in and of itself will save money. Static IPs aren't that much more than the standard business account. Also, if money isn't a concern and they just want faster internet, you could look at bonding multiple T1s together.

I haven't priced Business level FIOS. While it depends on the particular market and exact location,
contadorapanama.com/libraries/jerseys/nfl/Ryan+Tannehill.html, the common options for doing what you want to do are Business DSL, Business Cable, Business FIOS, and T1.
T1 is a LOT more expensive than the other options. It likely comes with a guaranteed uptime. In my experience, it hasn't been any more reliable than Business DSL or Business Cable. I've had just as many long term outages from my T1 customers as my others. If you get Business DSL, make sure you aren't beyond 15,000 feet or so from the Telco's Central Office, and double check the error rate and actual througput.
