Yeah I wouldn't think there's any downside to a web service company ie Media Temple hosting a web site for someone just trying to learn web development.  The downside for the developer is unless it's a real short term thing, or the site is somehow making money, it'll end up costing.

I did come across a site today that said use Fedora because it's made for web server, though personally I'd set it up on Windows because I've worked with Windows for decades and I have no practical experience with Linux.

Of course hosting it yourself is for testing it yourself, maybe setting up someone you know to connect to it.  If you host it yourself and open it to the public you'd have to deal with the public (DDOS?).
