Yes, you can deliver a p5p archive over http, no extra hosting necessary. This doesn't give all of the benefits that IPS can offer (in terms of pkg clients being able to update as easily) but it's a good start.

Assuming you've got the ability to modify an Apache instance, the Apache-based depot work mentioned here a few days ago might also be of interest, depending on your hosting provider.
