You need to be a BYOND Member to have your own file storage space here, but not to have a hub entry. You can find a free or cheap web host and upload your file there. The only catch is, it has to be one that lets you access the file directly, so sites like megaupload are out of the question.

To upload it directly to BYOND, yes. However, you can upload your game's package to another site, like ripway.com, and then link to that with the hub.

You didn't read the messages by Lummox and I fully. You can allows users to download your game through the hub, you just have to upload it to a different site. You can host, too, though.

Absolutely. You won't be able to make the game availble for download until you find a web host for your .zip file, but you can host the game all you like.

if you have a reasonably fast internet connection, you can also host the .zip file yourself by running a little webserver on your computer and getting a free .net/.org/.com web address that points to your home computer. but that takes a bit of work, and it's not for everyone.
