Saparate the two.

Use a private desktop machine for building images and feeds. You probably 
already have it...

For serving packages, any HTTP server will do, so you can use any cheap plain 
and simple file based hosting.
Update the feed using rsync, or just use a script that copies the newer files 
over to the hosting.

It's also a much better option security wise.
