Maintaining the site, in my opinion, has more to do with changes that you need to make to stay current (add content, change HTML layout, etc.) rather than worrying about the server staying up.
I would agree with Patrick on this one. In my experienc, the biggest concern for any web publisher is(should be?) how to maintain content current on the site. Unless you have full time persons providing enough content to generate that many hits, this is where your bottleneck will be.
Once you have your site up, it might be worthwhile to get a professional to give it a quick once over to make sure that everything is aOK. It might also be a good idea to call in the said pro every so often, just to give a once over... (we brush our teeth twice a day, but every 6 months pay the dentist a visit)
Once your site is up and running, and you have a decent backup system and policy in place, and you keep up with the software patches, the back end tends to take care of itself.
