When you put aside your fears on the reach of US-based agencies and what they can do to you for downloading movies from torrent websites, you'll find there's a wealth of old movies that are free and legal to upload as well as download.

When I wrote about cheap web hosting and offered to host other domains for a reasonable price while being personally managed by me, there were no problems with my VPS web hosting.
