File dump site restricitions apply?

Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

I’m looking for a new webhost and reading through many TOS (and AUP) pages and not having much luck. I use my webspace to share non-public files on occasion. Would this technically be a “file dump site”?
I know many hosts wouldn’t count a few files here and there as being a big deal, but I don’t want to purchase hosting from somewhere that suggests what I do is somehow wrong, or feel I’m cheating some company.
Any suggestions on hosts that allow storing files in the webspace would be welcome.
As a side-note to any providers who may read this, read through your policies… I’ve seen pretty stupid clauses, like “not allow … file storage”. If I’m not allowed to store files, then it’s going to be a pretty boring website, consisting of a 404 page. Maybe I’m weird, but I’m not considering any hosts with such broad language.
