You can consider web space as storage space which is assigned to your webhosting accounts its total amount of storage which you can use to store all data files, email accounts and other webfiles. You have different webspace slots which all depends on hosting plan you choose and may varies from webhost to webhost. To access your webspace your webhosting service provider will offer you some kind of control panel [ cPanel/Plesk] using which you can manage your hosting account, you can upload data/webfiles using your control panel or through using Client FTP program and can access your webhosting space.
If you choose some shared hosting package you may get less diskspace as compare to other higher hosting packages such as VPS, dedicated servers.
You can also use allotted webspace as backup webspace if you have opt for higher hosting plan in which you will have sufficient diskspace, if you are having dedicated server with RAID configured diskdrive you can use this space as a backup space and can keep or take backups of al your webdata.
