The drawback with using the hosting on the site is that it will inevitably take up server space on the forum account. Not a problem in the short term, but in the future it will inevitably push hosting costs up again. I would urge folks to use their own hosting wherever possible, but as a fall back for those people who can't do this the above method is a perfectly valid option.
