Depending on what type of setup you have for your own server(s), it may be more cost effective from a performance standpoint to offload this to someone/something that specializes in serving this type of content (i.e. S3/Cloudfront/CDN's).

Advantages of external hosting: less server needs internally; global distribution of content

Disadvantages: affected by external company's outages (although w/ how these CDN's setup their network, this seems to be less of an issue).
