Note that your repo stays usable even while GitHub is down, and your team can sync their work afterwards. Or if you prefer, you can switch to a different remote without much trouble.

On a different note, I do host my own Git server, but between maintainance downtime, power outages and ISP issues, my availability isn't nearly as good as GitHub's.
