The other guys made great points. One of the other reasons to pay for hosting is disaster recovery and redundancy. A good hosting service will provide regular backups as a part of your service. In addition they will have a solid recovery plan in case of disaster.

The most likely event to affect your site availability would be power outages. Legitimate hosting providers would have you covered with a UPS and backup generators. Keep this in mind if you decide to host your own site. It costs a lot of money to keep a site available 24/7.
