Depending on the host, you may get charged a big bill for traffic. If you're hosting at home, your ISP may blackhole all traffic to your residence (affecting your day job and being a nightmare). When it comes to DDoS, most providers are quick to blackhole, and slow to unfreeze, without getting the run around.

That's a very big stretch. Worst case you need to stretch to wifi tethering from you phone, which isn't much more than mildly annoying.
