If you can, it is preferable to host the files on your own server.
Doing this can lead to better uptime and more control over customization (you can modify the code for your usage).
Also, deploying it on your own means you can place your API key directly into the PHP code so it will not be visible in the URL. This makes it so that your API key cannot get used by other people without your knowledge.
You can deploy the PHP files on any website server with PHP installed or as a Heroku app.
