This is true. Plus what happens if you internet goes down. Or your electricity goes out. Are you going to buy a pricey power backup? Also speed to your page would be much slower because it will take an end user more hops to you then it would to a host. Also, what kind of firewall / router do you have?
I can go on for a while. But there are many reasons why this is not a great idea if you plan to have a lot of traffic. It would not be bad to host some sort of personal site. picture sharing for friends and family, so on so forth. But if it is a part of your business you take seriously. There is a reason why everyone does not do this.
