Uploading movies & music to web space?
#1
I'm planning on getting webhosting to build a small blog. Can I use the rest of my webspace for saving/back up all my movies and music? Am I allowed to do that? Are differences between webhosts or can I just upload how much I want?

Even with "unlimited" type hosting plans, if you are taking a large amount of space they are going to investigate why. And if its not related to your hosting, you're likely in violation of your TOS. Not to mention inviting third party scrutiny into the legality of everything you are backing up unless you go out of your way to encrypt it all first.

I'd avoid it. If you absolutely must back your stuff up to someone else's infrastructure - check out a dedicated cloud based backup service - there are some that offer unlimited storage as long as you are running the client from a non-server OS and the OS sees the drives as directly attached (you can trick this in most instances using iSCSI if you are using a dedicated NAS)
