Answer 1

You can easily host your code to github You need to have a valid composer.json on your module repo. After you just have to add your repository into your magento composer.json like

"repositories": [
{ "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/mycompany/privaterepo" }
]

and you can make a composer require my-module

that's it.

But if you got several modules, think about packagist or Satis instance to handle it easily.
